About DCFPS

The Policy Seminars focus on the impacts of a wide range of social and economic issues on families. Seminar topics reflect the recommendation of local officials, activists, researchers, and DC FPS fellows. Each seminar includes presentations by leading researchers and expert practitioners, followed by a discussion period in which participants share their knowledge and concerns regarding issues specific to the District. Participants include officials and staff members from the Mayor's office, the City Council, other government and nonprofit agencies, and members of the research and advocacy communities.

The DC Family Policy Seminar is part of the National Network of State Family Policy Seminars, a project of the Family Impact Seminar.
