The audio conferences will be held on Fridays (and occasional Wednesdays) from 12:30 to 1:30 pm (EST), beginning February 9, 2001 through Dec. 7, 2001. A brochure and registration forms can be found at: http://www.clasp.org/audioconference/brochure.html>. To register by creditvcard, visit www.shop-clasp.org. Among the topics covered are... * The status of child poverty in the U.S., * New strategies for food stamps, children's health insurance, child support, and housing, * The future of universal Pre-K, * Emerging lessons from the states on the impact of the New Economy on families, * The impact of work/welfare programs on families * The fate of diverted teen parents, and * Key issues surrounding the reauthorization of PRWORA in 2002. Guest speakers will include politicians and policy makers, such as Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia, Gov. Gary Locke of Washington, California State Assembly member Dion Aroner, and Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell, as well as research and policy experts, including Marian Wright Edelman of the Children's Defense Fund, David Ellwood, from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and Rebecca Blank of the Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Other guests include front line workers, agency officials, and other experts. These audio conferences typically include 300-1,000 listeners who "tune in" for this lively "talk show." This new series will be particularly informative in laying out some of the key issues for low-income children and families in time for consideration of welfare reauthorization in 2002. You can save yourself time and money by signing up for the entire series. If you sign up for all 13 audio conferences or tapes (if you can't listen live), you get lucky by saving yourself $15!
