PIE graduates move into advisory roles, citing committee and report work
Summary
Graduates described participating in state ICC subcommittees, a contingency planning workgroup and review of the state improvement plan and annual performance report — steps participants said helped them shape training modules and bring family perspectives to policy discussions.
Multiple PIE participants described how the cohort prepared them to contribute to statewide advisory work. Vanessa Allen noted cohort members "attended and engaged with state ICC subcommittees, contributed to the state ICC Contingency Planning Workgroup, explored Washington State Systematic Improvement Plan, ESIP, and partnered with ESIP leadership to better understand the annual performance report, APR."
Participants said those opportunities translated into invitations to other advisory roles: Michelle said she had joined policy and finance committees, and Ashley described participation in SICC committees and ESET work groups. Rebecca said PIE skills helped her assist another parent in crafting an advocacy story that prompted district‑level IEP discussions.
