Collaborative Council

The Collaborative Council assists the Children’s Commission by informing commission members and staff of local, regional, and statewide issues that impact attorney and judicial practices in child welfare cases. The Collaborative Council is an advisory body comprised of child welfare stakeholders and subject matter experts from other child and family serving systems from across Texas, including advocates for children, youth, and families. There are approximately 40 Collaborative Council members at any given time.

Collaborative Council members serve at the discretion of the Children’s Commission for no set term. Collaborative Council members have various opportunities to participate and provide input into the activities, projects, and strategies undertaken by the Children’s Commission. Collaborative Council members do not represent the Children’s Commission and members should not attempt to influence legislation on behalf of the Children’s Commission.
