The State Advisory Council (SAC) is Vermont’s Governor-appointed, primary advisory body on the well-being of children from
the prenatal period through age eight and their families. In partnership with Vermont’s Early Childhood Action Plan (VECAP)
Committees and the Regional Councils, the SAC sets priorities and strategic direction for statewide initiatives using the VECAP and up-to-date data. The annual recommendations are developed with input across all BBF Network gatherings and seek to identify the current gaps and needs in policy, promote action in strategic areas for the coming year, ensure recommendations are measurable, and move Vermont toward a more equitable Early Childhood System.
