State Agency Liaisons

Each New York State agency should have a PSWP Liaison who serves as the agency's primary contact and information resource for employees who wish to request or enroll in PSWP workshops. In addition, liaisons work with agency managers to help identify training needs of PEF-represented and M/C employees and guide the development of PSWP workshops to address those needs in alignment with agency goals.

Large, decentralized agencies should establish a network of personnel at regional, facility, and work site locations to assist the central office Agency PSWP Liaison.

For more information on the roles and responsibilities of Agency Liaisons, read the PSWP Agency Liaison Handbook.

To update liaison information for your agency, email PSWP at PSWPHelp@Albany.edu.
