OICA 2010 Agenda & Follow Up Meeting

The OICA 2010 Legislative Agenda for Children and Youth was developed by over 500 advocates attending the Annual Fall Forum sponsored by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy.

Four issues were prioritized by the group:

* Require health education
* Support efforts to provide health coverage for autism
* Address the needs of children of incarcerated parents
* Support a tobacco-free Oklahoma

All are welcome at the follow up event
In order to develop our strategies for advancing these important issues, OICA will host a follow-up event at the State Capitol on November 13.

The event is free and open to all interested parties (you need not have attended the Fall Forum to participate). But we do need to know how many folks to prepare for- so please click here to register for the event!
