Fiscal Officers Committee
The Fiscal Officers Committee meets to assist PAR members’ fiscal officers in understanding state fiscal reporting laws, billing procedures, reimbursement procedures and ever-evolving regulatory issues. This group meets regularly with the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) financial and program directors and provides valuable feedback to the state regarding rules, regulations, program initiatives, and fiscal impacts. While the focus is for fiscal officers, any PAR member is welcome to come.

What I like Best About Barber: I love to work for an organization that allows me to use my professional skills while indirectly helping children, adults, and families with challenges that they cannot face on their own. When someone asks where I work, they always respond with a positive remark about our services and the people we help. That feels good at the end of the day.
