    This committee provides parents with opportunities to work with the management staff to learn more about program services.  The committee is responsible for assessing, discussing, planning, and implementing the agency’s services to children and families.
  3. Program Service Advisory Committee
    The Early Childhood Development Committee, the Health and Nutrition Committee, and the Family and Community Partnerships Committee each provide parents with opportunities to work with the management staff to establish new services or improve existing ones.
