If you can email us your by-laws, we can organize and store them so that they can be shared with other states. Our first call will feature a brief discussion of the ICC Parent Leadership project and an open forum on key issues that councils are addressing across the country. The ICC Parent Leadership listserv is an internet-based opportunity for parents serving on councils to ask questions, suggest possible resources, and explore issues of common interest. We may be able to help. If you have an issue that you d like to discuss with another parent leader, let us know and we will try to find someone who shares this interest or has expertise in this area.
