Members, Allen Brown and Brenna Troncoso, of the SSDVTF were present at a community meeting to discuss implementation of Brownwood's BIPP program. The meeting was hosted by Family Services Center, Inc., of Brownwood, Texas, and facilitated by Al Dostal of Family Services Center. A good showing was made by local law enforcement and judiciary; there were also some social service providers present. A brief overview of the BIPP meeting will be given at our next task force meeting. In the meantime:
Highlights of discussion:
-Cost and duration of program
-BIPP curriculum & state guidelines
-Role for faith-based initiatives

BT spoke with Dostal, who said he will mail a copy of the curriculum to us.
Task force members will also be present at TCFV's LAN meeting in Austin on February 1. Details to follow.
