Children's Caucus E-Mail List
To be added to the "Children's Caucus" e-mail list please call 465-6881 and ask to be subscribed.
The Children's Caucus is an Ad Hoc committee chaired by Representative Fred Dyson; Representative Tom Brice (District 30) is Vice-Chair. The members are bi-partisan and from both the Senate and House. There is no membership "list". The meeting is open to all 60 legislators, staff, and the general public.
The purpose of each caucus is to inform legislators, through various presenters, about a particular issue relating to children. The mission is to find out 1) the nature of the problem presented and 2) what the Legislature can do to help. Meetings have often focused on finding ways to end child sexual abuse and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, but have also covered a wide range of topics.
Legislators are seated at the committee table. There are chairs in the audience for public members and staff (first come, first serve). The meeting is informal and, as we don't want to add starvation to your busy schedules, we invite you to bring your lunch with you.
During this Legislative Session, the Children's Caucus intends* to meet every other Tuesday OR Thursday at 12:00 noon (we are working out a minor scheduling conflict). The meetings last one hour and are normally held in the Juneau Capitol Building, Butrovich Room 205. This room is the only one which has Video Conferencing capability and we plan to use it again this year when a presenter cannot fly in.
* Due to ever-changing schedules of Legislators and Caucus presenters, meeting times and dates are subject to change. Please direct any questions to Rep. Dyson’s aide, Lisa Torkelson, at (907) 465-6881.
