ADvancing States' Public Policy Committees

ADvancing States’ Public Policy Committees

In order to ensure that association policy positions reflect the views and needs of membership, ADvancing States operates two public policy committees that guide our work.  These include a committee on Medicaid and Long-term Services and Supports; and a committee on Aging and Disability Services.  

These committees meet on a monthly basis to provide guidance regarding policy and programmatic issues related to Medicaid-funded long-term services and supports. The committees provide suggestions and feedback that:

• Inform the development and implementation of ADvancing States’ annual federal policy agenda;

• Assist ADvancing States staff as they respond to legislative and regulatory proposals; and

• Support ADvancing States staff to develop tools and strategies to provide technical assistance to state government agencies that assist state policy development efforts.

Membership on the committees is on a volunteer basis.  The committees are led by a Chair who is a member of the ADvancing States Board of Directors and a Co-Chair who is a representative of the association membership.  Positions that are developed through the committee process are subject to review and approval by the ADvancing States Board of Directors.
