The Office of Management and Budget announced Friday that keeping in line with a Governor Albert Bryan executive order, the office has reorganized OMB and created two new business divisions "to provide you with more efficient and effective services." OMB said it has consolidated units and shifted management personnel "to fill known gaps and lead new initiatives."

The most notable change is the creation of the Performance Management Division and the Budget Review Division, OMB said. Both divisions, independently, will support the fiscal requests and needs of agencies while improving on the government's strategic direction and the efficient fiscal management of government resources, according to the release.

Kevin McCurdy has been named the associate director of budget review and assigned to lead the Budget Review Division, a combination of the former Policy Management Unit and Budget Administration Unit, OMB said. Denelle Baptise has been named the senior performance manager and leads the Performance Management Division and the transition to performance/priority-based budgeting within the governor as mandated by 3 VIC Sections 22-27.

Additionally, Associate Director Hilarie Baker will lead OMB's efforts to become compliant with the Special Conditions imposed by the United States Department of Education, according to the release. Ms. Baker will also assist the Department of Human Services and the Office of the Governor with the management of all of their federal grants. These changes took effect on Monday, August 3, 2020.
