ICHS and Indiana Association of United Ways have partnered to offer a webinar series during the legislative session to keep you informed. The first intro webinar was recorded in January and highlighted a number of bills that related to human services. The second, mid-session webinar was recorded March 5 and allowed us to provide detail on bills that are still moving.
