State Affiliate Organizational Membership

State Affiliate Organizational (SAO) members are a critical part in our collective effort to keep families at the center of children’s health care.

A State Affiliate Organization (SAO) is a statewide/territory-wide/tribal, parent/family-led non-profit organization, with a Board composed of a majority of family members of CYSHCN, that meets the requirements of an SAO and works to advance the mission, vision and principles of Family Voices, Inc.

There is only one SAO approved per state.

If your organization is interested in joining the growing list of current State Affiliate Organizations (below), please contact Natasha Tapia for more information and an application.
