Advisory Board

To assist with growth and provide insights and expertise into the work, we have welcomed 12 professionals in the field of trauma and education to join our Advisory Board. The Coalition’s Advisory Board will engage in the development and oversight of grant activities to review performance data and use that data to determine whether Coalition activities are having the intended impact and to suggest adjustments to the project. The Advisory Board will also provide direct support and consultation to partner schools to support the development of action plans for specific trauma-informed programming.
