We joined government partners at the IT Solutions Management for Human Services Conference, where we showcased how DFPS is modernizing systems and elevating data quality to better serve children, families, and communities. Our Data and Systems Improvement team—represented by Nathan Pieper and Audrey Williamson—shared well-thought-out strategies that drive real change. Together, we’re building a stronger, safer Texas for all. #SMGEG2026 #DataGovernance #TeamDFPS
