On March 3, 2001, Governor Bob Taft announced the formation of the Department of Job and Family Services targeted Management Review Team. Its task: to work with then interim-Director Jo Ann Davidson and conduct an assessment of specific areas of the department -- child support, job-matching computer systems and employment services. The team is headed by Jim Conrad, CEO/Administrator of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, and includes Greg Jackson, state Chief Information Officer and Jeff Cabot, member, Columbus Board of Education and former Franklin County Administrator. On May 1, Davidson became a member of the Management Review Team when Greg Moody succeeded her as Interim Director of ODJFS.

Today the team issued a status report on the state's child support program. Click here to view that report.
