Publications - Federal Family Impact Seminar Reports
The Family Impact Seminar was established in 1976 to promote a family perspective in public policies and programs and to build capacity for family centered policymaking. From 1976 to 1998, Directors A. Sidney Johnson and Theodora Ooms engaged in a number of activities to achieve these aims. For example, the Family Impact Seminar conducted 14 field studies in collaboration with community organizations to assess the family impact of policies and programs, published 7 family impact analyses of federal legislation, and presented 42 seminars for federal policymakers in Washington, DC on a wide range of family issues. A 50- to 75- page background briefing report was prepared to accompany each seminar. If you are interested in a briefing report that is not available in electronic pdf format, please print out an order form.
