Annual Meeting
The Coalition’s Education Committee provides the leadership in developing the program for each year's annual meeting by identifying, inviting, and securing a speaker on a timely topic of interest.  In recent years, we have hosted staff from Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration to address programs and funding, key legislators to share insights on policy challenges, and individuals from around the country that have conducted research on aspects of issues that concern us, like the working poor.
