Advocacy
Shaping Policy
The CSC sphere of influence stretches well beyond the communities they serve. CSC executive leaders, as well as members of the CSC governing boards, serve on, and are appointed to, a number of high-level committees, task forces and other working groups to provide guidance and insight on children’s issues. Their participation helps to shape state and national public policy and ensure smart investments are made in children’s services and programs. Here are just a few of the areas where their influence is felt.
