Other Events of InterestMeasure by Measure: Modernizing the Poverty MeasureSponsored by Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) CLASP is holding an important national audio conference call to discuss federal efforts to implement a modernized federal poverty measure. Deborah Schlick, Executive Director of the Affirmative Options Coalition will be sharing her perspective on state actions in the absence of a modern federal measure. Around the nation, states, particularly those with poverty commissions, are asking such questions as: does the official measure capture all those who are poor? Does the official measure help demonstrate progress in poverty reduction due to new policies? What other indicators are helpful? Participants will have an opportunity to get their questions answered about how we currently measure poverty and what efforts are being made at the federal and state level to improve this measure. Featuring John Kefalas, Colorado State Representative, Elizabeth Lower-Basch, CLASP, and Deborah Schlick, Affirmative Options Coalition. Monday, November 23 Visit CLASP's web site to RSVP.
