Edward Casillas
ANPPC Chair
The Alliance and The ANPPC
The goal of the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance is to expand and advance the meaningful and authentic roles of parent leaders in state children’s trust and prevention funds and in the Alliance. Through the Alliance National Parent Partnership Council (ANPPC), the Birth Parent National Network (BPNN) and the Birth and Foster Parent Partnership (BFPP), the Alliance has elevated the voice of parents and others with life experiences in child maltreatment.
The Alliance National Parent Partnership Council (ANPPC) is an advisory group to the Alliance and to its membership. The ANPPC co-chairs serve on the Alliance Board. Their work aligns with the Alliance’s strategic plan and priorities. They work to raise awareness about the Alliance and its mission and to strengthen all parents and communities from a prevention point of view.
