Advisory Board

Our Advisory Board is made up of over 50 esteemed educational administrators, 
social workers, psychologists, legislators, family advocates, and other professionals.
The board chair, Dr. Lois Flaherty, has led the board for the entire 12 years it has
been in existence. She is reponsible for a number of publications developed specifically
for the board, as well as those that were developed during her successful career
as a child psychiatrist. Below you will see bios for the board chair and its members.
