Subcommittees

To move our work forward effectively, the coalition forms subcommittees that each focus on a specific priority area and action plan. Subcommittees may be added or dissolved by the Steering Committee as needs evolve. Members interested in joining a subcommittee are encouraged to contact the Membership Chair for more information.

We welcome member participation — current subcommittees include:
