The Indiana Family Impact Seminars provide objective, high-quality research on family issues to (a) build greater respect for and use of research in policy decisions; (b) encourage policymakers to examine policies and programs through the lens of family impacts; and (c) provide neutral, nonpartisan opportunities for legislators to engage in open dialogue for fostering relationships and fi­nding common ground.
