Assistance Team Coordinators

Your Assistance Team Coordinator is your agency’s primary point of contact with Civil Service.  This staff member will work with you to resolve all types of issues, questions or concerns that may arise related to Civil Service rules, regulations and procedures.  The agency assignments for each Coordinator are listed below.

The staff of the Program Assistance Division also answers questions from individual employees and agency managers that relate to Civil Service Rules.  We use a team approach to achieve optimal results with agencies and employees.  The Coordinators lead multi-disciplinary teams of Civil Service staff from the Staffing and Compensation Divisions.  So, anytime you have a question that may be related to Civil Service, please contact the Coordinator for your agency.
