Chris Shipley (President), James Buckley (Sr. Systems Analyst), and Brandan Towers (Project Manager) presented “A Successful Statewide HPRP Collaboration” at the Fall 2011 Conference of the National Human Services Data Consortium in Washington D.C. in mid-October as well as the NERHMIS Training & Symposium in November.
The presentation was widely attended and described the process of how HPRP was implemented entirely across the State of Connecticut, with five municipalities and one large application all separately funded by HUD. Attendees learned how we navigated issues surrounding demarcation of service, two different HMIS, and the aggregation of statewide reporting. In addition, the presentation touched on how analyzing data helped policy makers refocus their target populations and the processes in place.

Nutmeg Consulting was happy to sponsor the "TEAM Paragon 571" , a group of dedicated, young engineers based in Bloomfield, CT. They competed in the annual FIRST Robotics Competition , which pits teams across the nation to design, build and compete against each other based on a pre-determined set of rules. The team is comprised of students who are responsible for the design, implementation and project management, of the robot along with adult mentors to help guide them along during the consolidated build process. Each year, the FIRST program issues a new challenge to schools across the country, gives them a set of tools and general guidelines to follow. The teams then go off for 6 weeks, create their projects and sign up for various competitions. This year, the "TEAM Paragon" competed admirably in Worcester, MA and Hartford, CT regionals. They are currently looking for new members to replenish the young adults that have recently graduated. Congratulations!
