Women, Infants, Children, Youth and Families Committee

Committee Purpose (bylaw excerpt): The committee works to ensure the active and effective participation of women and those who represent infants, children and families in the planning and decision making process of the Council. To accomplish this, the committee will carefully consider and seek ways to meet transportation needs of participants, to involve appropriate providers, to continuously identify individuals who are underserved and unserved and to retain these clients in the continuum of care. Finally, the committee acts as a liaison between planning and service provision by working to ensure access and to eliminate barriers to services for women, infants, children, youth and families.
