PARTNERS

Diverse stakeholders are collaborating to design scalable solutions to challenges in the St. Louis region. Dedicated funding for both implementation and evaluation ensures that our solutions are resourced for success, while shared data informs strategy and aligns stakeholders.

Leaders across our region are investing time, resources, and expertise in this process through the IPP’s Steering Committee, Collaborative Partner Committee, and Solution Design Cohorts.

STEERING COMMITTEE
