What We Do
The Steering Committee is the decision-making body for the initiative, providing leadership and strategic direction about goals and activities. Composed of cross-sector leaders from our community including moms with living experience*, the Steering Committee reflects the voices of those who bear the burden of preterm birth and the organizations that are actively working to address this complex issue in Fresno County. Meet some of our steering committee members below and on our website at http://www.ptbifresno.org/support/.
