DBR Website 2.2: New Features

DBR Website 2.2:  New Features

Welcome back to the updated version of the Department’s website!  We continue to make enhancements to both the look and functionality of our site that we think will make it easier for the citizens of Rhode Island to find the help and information they need.

For this round, we have added social media features such as blogs, twitter, and facebook.  In addition, the Professionals page has been reformatted.

As always, this is only one step in what we will hope will be a continuously improving site and resource for you.  But we will need you input.  Please tell us what you like and don’t like.  Give us your ideas for what you would like to see to make it even more useful.

We look forward to hearing from you and stand by for specific announcements on when the eLicensing feature will be available.

Thank you,

Paul Mcgreevy
