Why are LMBs so Effective?

LMBs are committed to collaborating with state and local partners to make systems equitable and effective for children, youth and families.

Each county operates an LMB to ensure the implementation of a local interagency service delivery system for children, youth, and families. We are neutral conveners bringing diverse voices together and work where families and children live and where they receive services.
