WorkAbility I (WAI) grantees are assigned to five geographic regions throughout the state. The WAI Regional managers oversee each region and are responsible for providing guidance to the WAI site directors who in turn provide guidance to the local program and community partners. The WAI Mentors provide mentor-based trainings within their local regions, offer support, collaborate with regional teams, assist in the special conditions process, and provide responses to frequently asked questions.
Tables for all five geographic regions and counties served can be found below, as well as contact information for the WAI Regional Manager and Mentors.
