Family Impact Seminars
The Family Impact Seminars is a series of presentations, briefing reports and discussion sessions that provide state policymakers with high-quality, objective research on timely issues. This series translates research for real world application in areas such as corrections policy, growing the state economy, helping poor children succeed, moving families out of povery, prisoner reentry, school finance, welfare reform, and workforce development.
