I attended a state wide organizing meeting of the Foster Caregivers Association in Charleston last Saturday. This group is working hard to develop its structure and organization. It is trying to be practical in terms of being a statewide group, with the challenges of travel and meetings. There were about 20 people, mostly foster or adoptive parents. They passed some by laws, and did some strategic planning. There is a next meeting in April in Morgantown.
It is one of our local site strategic goals to have our foster parents become involved in leadership and support efforts for themselves, as well as marketing and development and advocacy efforts for the agency.
