CMC's Policy Briefing Outlines Agenda for 2009

On Tuesday, December 9, more than 60 leading child advocates from across the state gathered in Columbia to discuss the children's policy agenda for 2009. CMC's annual KIDS COUNT in Missouri Policy Briefing convenes legislators, policy analysts, lawyers, industry professionals, and other thought-leaders to examine the political climate in state and federal government and chart out policy goals for the upcoming legislative sessions. Speakers addressed access and affordability of children's health care, schemes for funding and advancing early childhood education, the state of child welfare agencies in Missouri, the legal restrictions and possibilities for nonprofit political advocacy, and, of course, the state of the Missouri budget.
