As we head into a new budget season, it will be critical that the general public as well as the legislature have an understanding of the vital role your organizations have in your communities, your local economies and in the families you support. We encourage members to include communications like these into your strategic advocacy plans for the new year.

Please share any additional pieces in the press that you find with gabrielle@par.net. Thank you!
