Department of Homeland Security grant officials visit Community Spec

On December 1-2, 2009, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program officials for the Intercity Bus Security Grant program visited Community Spec to discuss improving grant administration and specific practices to streamline the delivery of funds.

Mike Dickson, president of Southeastern Stages, also participated in these meetings. As a two-time IBSG grant recipient, he contributed a firsthand account of his and Southeastern Stages experience with the program.

The meeting included discussions of best practices for environmental and historical preservation (EHP) reviews. Improved actions for the financial review of grant awards included submitting these reviews to DHS more seamlessly and reducing the need for changes to financial documentation after initial grant submission.
