Project supports
General support descriptions

The project supports leaders by:

• Organizing a clearinghouse of training materials, by-laws, conference agendas, contact information, and any other resources which have proven useful in supporting the work of parents serving on councils across the country.

• Linking parent leaders to each other through a facilitated "leader-to-leader" network, designed around issues of common interest.

• Conducting an annual Leadership Institute bringing together selected state teams of parent leaders to define, develop, and discuss the challenges they face and the necessary skills to meet them.

• Co-facilitating a listserv ("iccparent@fcsn.org"), an internet-based discussion group related to parents and councils.

• Publishing a national newsletter, Leadership Notes, including current information on national and local trends affecting ICC parent leaders.

• Hosting a series of topic conference calls for parent leaders serving (or who have served) on interagency coordinating councils (ICCs).

• Maintaining this web page, which will include project information and activities.

• Offering a toll-free number--(800) 493-2338 x211--for ICC parents seeking information on particular topics. For more project contact information, click here.
