Designation Renewal System (DRS) Support
You don't have to navigate DRS status alone.
Complete the DRS Priority Support Form to get started.
Receiving a Designation Renewal System (DRS) designation can create additional pressure for your leadership team. Between monitoring findings, documentation requests, reporting requirements, and program improvement efforts, it can be difficult to know where to focus first.
While every agency's situation is different, one thing remains the same: you don't have to navigate it alone.
If your agency is currently navigating DRS status, let us know. The sooner we understand your situation, the sooner we can identify ways GoEngage may be able to support your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I let GoEngage know that my agency is in DRS?
The earlier we understand your situation, the sooner we can help. Every DRS designation is different, and we often don't know an agency is navigating DRS unless they tell us. By reaching out early, we can better understand your circumstances, identify potential areas of support, and ensure your requests receive appropriate attention from our team.
What happens after I submit the DRS Priority Support Form?
A member of the GoEngage team will contact you to schedule a meeting. During that conversation, we'll learn more about your agency's situation, discuss any concerns or challenges you're facing, and identify opportunities where GoEngage may be able to help. Following the meeting, we'll provide recommendations and connect you with the appropriate resources, training, reports, or support services based on your needs.
Will our agency receive priority support?
Yes. Agencies navigating DRS often face increased reporting, documentation, and operational demands. Once we are aware of your situation, we will make every effort to prioritize your requests and provide timely assistance when your team reaches out for support.
Do you have a DRS guide or checklist?
Not at this time. DRS situations can vary significantly from one agency to another, which makes a one-size-fits-all guide difficult to create. Our current focus is on understanding each agency's unique circumstances and providing individualized support. As we continue working with agencies navigating DRS, we may develop additional resources and best practices based on common trends and needs we identify.
Is there a cost to submit the form?
No. Completing the DRS Priority Support Form simply helps us understand your situation and determine how we may be able to assist. Any recommendations regarding additional services, training, or support will be discussed with your team after we learn more about your needs.
Does GoEngage provide compliance or legal guidance?
No. GoEngage does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance determinations. We provide support for using GoEngage tools, reporting, access to documentation, and workflow best practices.
