Standing Committees Are Scheduled As Follows:

Study Committee of the expansion of local rehabilitation programs for inmates.

      At last year's annual meeting of the League, the membership approved a study of the expansion of rehabilitation programs for inmates in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. Several League members who are interested in this public policy issue have found the initial meeting informative with new approaches and techniques for dealing with this population.
      The committee learned that one approach underway in the two counties was the formation of the Re-entry Task Force last year. This coalition is made up of representatives from a wide range of public and private agencies and has regularly scheduled meetings. Several sub-committees have been designated, including housing; employment; children and families; education; job entry; gang activities and behavioral health. League committee members will attend these meetings to gain information in order to establish the focus and parameters of our study.
      Interested members are invited to join the committee. Your input is needed and you can determine how much time you are willing to commit. Contact the LWVPBA at 937-7769 or lwvpba@gmail.com.
