Illinois Coalition for School Health Centers (ICSHC)
Steering Committee
Join the ICSHC Steering Committee! The ICSHC Steering Committee is responsible for creating and monitoring the work of ICSHC, assisting the Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition on matters of financial development, guiding program development, and coordinating fundraising and public relations activities. We are currently engaged in a strategic planning process to develop the next three year work plan. The Steering Committee is comprised of at least one co-chair from each working committee and individuals elected at-large. No more than seventeen members comprise the Steering Committee and members serve two-year terms. Help guide the SHC movement over the next two years by nominating yourself (or a colleague) today! Please send the following form to Sue Murray, Program Consultant to submit a nomination.
