Providing Information to the Commission on Emerging Issues
Community members should feel free to address the
Commission at their regular monthly meetings about issues that are emerging as
unmet needs for families with young children in the community. These
presentations should not take the form of funding requests, and will not be
considered as funding requests. The purpose is to provide information to
the Commission that will assist them in their ongoing granting decisions as well
as their long-term planning.
