Forefront Policy Positions & Priorities

OUR PROCESS

Forefront’s public policy team represents the sector at all levels of government. Our annual policy agenda reflects the priorities of our stakeholders and is rooted in collaboration. We systematically seek input from our board, policy committee, members, Racial Equity Collective, and other stakeholders through committee deliberations, surveys, focus groups, program evaluations, and small group/one-on-one conversations. We participate in statewide coalitions to leverage the power of collaboration. When policy proposals at any level of government meet the tests in our decision-making filter, Forefront staff are empowered to act accordingly. On controversial issues, we facilitate important conversations aimed at building consensus.
