Oversight Committee: Members

The Oversight Committee is composed of 11-13 members:  two to four at-large members, representatives of five public agencies, and a representative from each of the Forum coalitions.  Every September, the Missoula Forum for Children and Youth invites interested community members to apply for one of the at-large seats on the Oversight Committee.  At-large members bring to the Committee extensive experience with collaboration, prevention, and youth, and an interest in many aspects of prevention and positive youth development.  Are you passionate about prevention and building a healthy community for Missoula’s youth?  Are you interested in exploring the issues that affect youth, families, and prevention activities in our community?  Do you want to help expand the ability of the Forum and its coalitions to Make the Connection for Missoula kids?  If so, please consider submitting a letter of application to the Forum Oversight Committee in September 2005.
