The work of ABCD would not be possible without the guidance, commitment and passion of a dedicated group of individuals representing state agencies, physicians, parents, Early Childhood Councils, and other community organizations. Some of the ways our State Team shapes our work include:

• Defining the mission and vision of ABCD.
• Developing our strategic plan.
• Providing leadership, expertise, resources and funding that drives our work.
• Capitalizing on relationships and reaching out to key leaders and stakeholders at the state and local level to inspire interest and build momentum.
• Modeling collaborative efforts that can be emulated at the local level.
