Background and Overview
As stated in LMR-6012,
...MA applicant's are submitting phone & email inquiries to the MA board instead of MSERV. We are working with the MA board to solve this problem. ASWB contact info is properly posted on ASWB's landing page, the online apps, etc., but applicants still contact MA, and then us, with inquiries that possibly could be resolved with informational direction.,,
Scope
As stated in LMR-6012
MSERV is working with MARCOM to develop an informational postcard that we intend to mail (and then email) to MA licensure applicants with brief application process instructions as well as our contact info. We would like to request IT create a monthly rolling spreadsheet (attached) (automated or manual) with each MA applicant's name/address/email information to be submitted to MARCOM's printer vendor for creation and mailing of a marketing postcard to all MA LAP applicants on a certain date every month...
Terminology
LapMgr - The LAP Manager application used by Member Services to process Massachusetts applications submitted online.
Business POC - The business lines point of contact who will be responsible for all communication with the Project owner for the business lines involvement in this project.

Potential impacts to timeline
A change in IT development project calendar due to new and higher priority development requests may force the delay in one or more deliverables.
The development and IT testing efforts may not require as much effort as anticipated, and may result in Stakeholder testing being available at an earlier date.
The development timeline (7/26/2021 - 7/29/2021), IT testing (7/30/2021) and Stakeholder testing (8/2/2021) timelines, are based on approval by Member Services Management to begin the project work being received by no later than 7/23/2021.
