The National 211 Steering Committee

What Does the Steering Committee do?

The 211 Steering Committee is a select group of leaders that liaise between the two national leadership organizations (Inform USA and United Way Worldwide) and the field, lifting the needs and values of the 2-1-1 network (regardless of affiliation). The committee collaborates with stakeholders, promotes mutual support, and ensures strategic alignment, continuous system improvement, and the advancement of its mission to ensure that 211 is excellent everywhere and always.

The 211 Steering Committee has produced several webinars designed for information and referral professionals working with a 211 agency.
