The achievement gap is at the root of America's workforce competitiveness challenge and issues that communities face daily. What's more, it may be widening and spreading in our region. At the same time, community leadership is in short supply, and the demand for engaged and informed community members is tremendous. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis invites you to a public policy dialogue to discuss the implications of these issues on society, including how organizations must address these concerns to attract investments, add value and support economic and social development.

The Jefferson County Citizen Foster Care Review Boards are seeking volunteers to make a difference in the lives of local children in foster care. Volunteers are needed to review cases of children placed in foster care because of abuse, dependency and neglect to ensure these children are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Volunteers are not required to reside in the county where a board meets. The Kentucky General Assembly created the Citizen Foster Care Review Board, or CFCRB, in 1982 as a way to decrease the time children spend in foster care. CFCRB volunteers review Cabinet for Health and Family Services files on children placed in out-of-home care and work with the cabinet and the courts on behalf of the state's foster children. All volunteers must complete a six-hour initial training session and consent to a criminal record and central registry check. A recommendation is then made to the chief judge of the District Court or Family Court for appointment. For more information, contact: Amy Smitha, Jefferson County CFCRBs 502-595-3498.
