About the Forum: Planning Committee

The Planning Committee oversees the operations of the Forum and coordinates the work of the other committees. Additionally, the Planning Committee assumes the responsibilities of the former Research and Innovation Committee, to develop innovative ways to address existing gaps in our current systems of collecting, reporting, and disseminating information on the status of children and families to the policy community and the general public.
