Audioconference on
"Rising to the Challenge: A Platform for City
Leadership on Behalf of Children, Youth, and Families." This
audioconference on Thurs, Jan 26, 2006 at 12:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) will
focus on key action steps municipal officials can take to strengthen
families and improve outcomes for children and youth.
Speakers will be several local elected officials from NLC's Council on
Youth, Education, and Families (YEF Council). Participants will engage
in an interactive discussion with the speakers and other municipal
officials on how to use NLC's new city platform to strengthen families
in their own communities, how these elements were chosen, and how the
YEF Institute will support city action and track responses to the
platform. To view or download the platform, visit www.nlc.org/iyef, or
