Family Advisory Council

The WFSA Family Advisory Council (FAC) serves as advisors in WFSA’s research, advocacy and community programs. Each of the Family Advisory Council members deeply informs our work with their lived experiences. It has been mutually beneficial for the Foundation and for the women who participate as they grow into their advocacy roles, utilizing legislation and research to advance the two-generation (2Gen) approach. Their voices and experiences have been showcased in our legislation, research, organizational assessment, and luncheon.
