The CWDS Oversight Committee (OSC) created the Program Impact Advisory Committee (PIAC) to broaden the base for discussions of CWS/CMS and CWS-New System (CWS-NS) issues as they relate to Child Welfare Services program, policy and practice. The CWDS Oversight Committee charters the Program Impact Advisory Committee (PIAC) as an advisory body to the Oversight Committee (OSC). The primary purpose of the PIAC is to aid in the analysis of proposed changes to the automated case management system (CWS/CMS & CWS-NS) by providing statewide perspective and guidance where program, policy, and practice issues arise.
