Executive, Legislative & Judicial Branches to collaborate on state policy
Nashville, TN – Tennessee Department of Children’s Services Commissioner Jim Henry has asked State Representative Joe Pitts to be one of three legislators to serve on the Middle Tennessee Regional Three Branches Institute.
The Institute is a new initiative the Department of Children’s Services is launching throughout the state of Tennessee. Through a partnership with the Casey Family Programs and First Lady Crissy Haslam’s office, the initiative will provide Rep Pitts an opportunity to offer input into solutions to constituent concerns and develop meaningful solutions.
“It is an honor to be asked to serve on the regional institute by Commissioner Henry,” said Pitts. “I look forward to being a part of the solution to the challenges faced by the Department of Children’s Services. Working in collaboration with our juvenile justice system and the other agencies serving our state’s children and families, will give me insight I can share with my constituents and use to craft better public policy.”Meetings of the Three Branches Institute will be held quarterly.
