Advisory Board

The Smart Start Colorado Steering Committee, in conjunction with the OPD staff, assembled an Advisory Board reflecting the four domains that make up a comprehensive early childhood system:  child health; child mental health; early childhood education; and parent support and education.  The entire Advisory Board meets every other month and members volunteer for various projects on an as-needed basis.
