Virtual September Meeting: Acquisition Transformation, a Case Study

NCMA DC is proud to kick off the program year on Wednesday, September 16 with a (free) virtual event featuring Melissa Starinsky, Director, Office of Acquisition and Grants Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). Ms. Starinsky began her career as an acquisition intern with the Navy.  Since then, she has held various acquisition, policy, and program leadership positions within the government and the private sector. She will discuss her acquisition transformation and streamlining initiative across CMS, including the impacts and return on investment.

We look forward to seeing you on the screen. Registration is free and you must register in order to attend, participate, and earn CPE. We will email you the day before the event with any additional or finalized details, and will email your CPE certificate after the event.

Schedule: Networking 5:30-6:00 pm ET, Speaker 6:00-7:00 pm ET

Google Meet Training and Help

NCMADC@ncmadc.org will email registrants the Meeting ID link to join the video meeting, or dial in number if your browser doesn’t support video meetings, a few days before the event date. Google Meet allows up to 250 participants. You must be registered to receive the Meeting ID or dial in number.

Note: A chime sounds when the first 5 people join the meeting. There’s no chime when additional people join, but you’ll see a notification in the meeting. The new participants are automatically muted.

Tips

  • For privacy reasons, you cannot unmute another person. Ask the participant to unmute their audio.

  • To mute or unmute yourself, at the bottom of the video window click Mute .

  • Phone participants can press *6 to unmute their phone.  

  • Any participant can be muted, including people who dial-in using a phone.

Dial-in participants

  • Phone participants always press *6 to mute or unmute their phone  

  • If someone else mutes you, you can only unmute using *6 (this is different than the mute icon on the screen).

Meet works with the current version of the browsers listed below:

Meet has limited support in Microsoft Internet Explorer® 11, and Microsoft Edge provides a better Meet experience. If you want to use Internet Explorer for Meet, you need to download and install the latest version of the Google Video Support plugin.

  • Apple® macOS®

  • Microsoft® Windows®

  • Chrome OS
