Champion for Children Advisory Committee

Voices created this Advisory Committee to engage community leaders in the work of the organization, and as a way to build relationships with new partners and advocates across the state. The Champion for Children Advisory Group works as a team to ensure children in Ohio are a priority in current and future state public policy decisions.

Participants heard from Rob Dugger of the Partnership for America’s Economic Success who offered some valuable, and yet staggering, information about Ohio children and youth, and the realities of the economic impacts that result from inaction. Dugger referenced the following article: Girding for an uphill battle for recruits: Obesity, poor education make many younger people unfit for military, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/04/AR2009110402899.html
