Policy and Legislative Advisory Network
The Policy and Legislative Advisory Network (PLAN) is a leadership table composed of policy leaders from investing partner organizations and local, state, and federal elected officials. The PLAN is a working group that drives the policy and advocacy strategy for the network, focusing on policies, legislation, and funding allocation that can be impacted and/or developed at ALL levels (organizational, municipal, county, regional, state, and federal).
Within the PLAN, there exists a Core Team of members that meet more frequently to engage in critical work sessions in order to ensure that community decision-makers on the larger PLAN have the information, research, and pre-work necessary to move forward with policy decisions.
