The U.S. Department of Treasury regularly turns to BETAH to help convene global leaders and high-ranking officials in important meetings—managing all logistics from start to finish, whether the meeting is remote, in person, or a combination. For the past six years, BETAH has managed more than 500 meetings for the agency, from small conference room gatherings to international summits with multiple venues. Let us help you connect with your community—you will be glad you did.

BETAH’s events management team makes all of the necessary arrangements for the Treasury’s crowded schedule of conferences, meetings, trainings, and summits. The team works closely with the agency’s operations office throughout the entire event—from initial concept development to venue selection, budgeting, graphic design support, exhibit production and transport, site management, travel and guest services, meals, and post-event services.

BETAH’s event planning logistics are designed to handle in-person, hybrid, and virtual delivery simultaneously—which has allowed Treasury to maintain its high meeting cadence even at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when gathering in person was not possible.

Meetings involving senior cabinet officials, elected representatives, and foreign dignitaries present unique planning challenges—and BETAH has met the challenge. At the 2023 spring meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund, BETAH team members supported over 45 meetings involving the Treasury Secretary and Deputy Secretary, seamlessly coordinating events to allow key participants to make scheduled appearances at the event’s multiple locations.

BETAH’s event team is in high demand. Our Treasury client said it best: “The vendor is always responsive and works very well with the government.” Let us be your partner to create the perfect event for your unique needs!

Every year, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) receives thousands of applications for grants from communities to help support criminal justice goals. The competition is fierce.

Making determinations about which communities are most deserving of these critical federal dollars is challenging. BETAH’s elite team of peer review specialists plays a vital role in gathering the information OJP needs to make informed decisions. But they can’t do it alone.

That’s why the support of our subcontractor, Leidos, is important. They provide IT support for completing the software code updates and other activities necessary for a major peer review system. And their flexible staffing support helps BETAH deliver for the customer during work surges and significant concentration of activities.

BETAH’s comprehensive management of peer review services ensures that grant applications are assessed against the program’s criteria. From supporting a diverse team of reviewers to managing the logistics for in-person or virtual review panels, we focus on the details—assuring high quality, maximum efficiency, and risk reduction.

We have a seasoned and knowledgeable stand-ready team available on day one to ensure all government requirements are met and exceeded. Our data-driven, continuous improvement processes and strong IT management practices enhance the experience for applicants, reviewers, and awardees.

BETAH has been providing peer review support services to OJP since 2015. By managing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) and under the overall guidelines of OJP’s peer review policy, the BETAH team assists DOJ with administrative and logistical support to deliver effective and efficient peer review support services. BETAH provides all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and services required to accomplish the tasks, which include logistical and administrative support of the entire peer review process; database management; reviewer outreach and maintenance; and policy, procedure, and training maintenance and process improvements.

According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance in the U.S. Department of Justice, “BETAH managed solicitations with a very high federal manager satisfaction with no issues reported and provided consistent and regular communication with program staff. External peer reviewer interaction and overall satisfaction were consistently high.”

BETAH looks forward to keeping a continuous improvement culture that consistently seeks to advance peer review operations and services.

When a large national insurance company wanted to better understand the biggest barriers to health in Montgomery County, MD, it reached out to BETAH for assistance in leveraging its community engagement expertise to connect with local leaders and stakeholders. With focus groups, listening sessions, and surveys, BETAH tapped into the vital voices of a diverse and thoughtful community. We helped create a prototype for identifying and prioritizing health needs and building community-based solutions to address them.

Before it even had a name, Voices for Vital Health was a vision. Leaders at a large national insurance company wanted to develop a pilot project for engaging with local communities hit hard by COVID-19. After extensive research, the company chose Montgomery County, Maryland, given its diverse population, as its pilot location and asked BETAH, with deep roots in the area, to lead the effort.

BETAH created a multistep process for connecting with diverse local leaders; testing targeted messaging and a project name; and guiding in-person data collection, recruitment, and sampling methodology.

BETAH’s outreach efforts included establishing a community advisory board of six diverse, and impactful leaders in Montgomery County; conducting a focus group with community-based and grassroots leaders; and hosting five 60-minute listening sessions with 31 representatives serving the county’s Black, Latino, LGBTQIA, Asian, and faith-based communities.

As the BETAH team began sifting through the feedback, it created a logical model to identify short- and long-term impacts of the pilot project. In the short term, BETAH demonstrated key strategies for reaching underserved communities.

BETAH-trained survey administrators went throughout the county and encountered residents eager to engage. For a little over two months, administrators collected more than 400 surveys. The outreach strengthened civic engagement within Montgomery County, identified avenues for further collaboration, and provided UHG with a path forward to impact other communities with unique challenges.

Montgomery County was the first community to participate in Voices for Vital Health. Our client hopes to make the pilot project its template for supporting communities across the country with similar gaps in local health infrastructure.
