Children's Agenda 2008
In 2008, more than seventy Michigan Coalition for Families member
organizations, including ACMH, called upon elected officials
and business leaders to support investments in Michigan's children. Out
of this call to action, came the
2008
Children's Agenda, which is now available online. |
