The Coalition has organized committees to develop and oversee the process of creating school readiness strategies, operational policies and procedures, and implementing administrative and programmatic requirements. Once developed, all committee recommendations are presented to the full Coalition at board meetings for discussion and approval. Standing committees typically meet on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. The Nominating Committee meets on an as needed basis, when board membership recruitment is needed and/or when it is time to present a new slate of officers for elections, which occurs annually. Ad hoc committees are formed by the Board as needed to address current issues, new programs or initiatives.

All committee meetings are open to the public and allow for public input. Below are committee descriptions. To find out more about when committees meet, click on Meeting Schedules/Agendas/Minutes.
