At a meeting of the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation (WKKF) in Jackson, Mississippi in
January, Flemming Fellows and Mississippi state
senators Willie Simmons (FF `99; near right) and
Robert Johnson (FF `96) both stressed how critical
accessible information that
helps inform the policy making
agenda is to legislators as they work on behalf of families and communities. For
many state legislators who share or have no staff and have limited access to
policy resources, sources of usable and accurate policy information are invaluable.
State policy leaders who work with communities will shape the future for
vulnerable children, for working families, and for people struggling to get out
of poverty as devolution continues.
Former Mississippi Gov. William F. Winter (far right) was the
featured dinner speaker at the WKKF Devolution Initiative event.
