It may take some time to fully decommission DOA’s previous logo, as we will efficiently use remaining resources that display the old logo. Additionally, the DOA Division of Personnel Management launched dpm.wi.gov, in conjunction with DOA’s launch, to build a more robust site and accommodate the human resource shared service responsibilities established under the 2017-19 state budget.
