From Mandates to Momentum: Financial Readiness for Policy and System Change in Child Welfare

Date and Time: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 3:00 – 3:50 PM (ET)

Join Sellers Dorsey Associate Director, Brittany McAllister, and Consulting Manager, Olivia Brown, for a practical look at how child welfare finance offices can turn policy volatility into a strategic advantage. Child welfare leaders operate in a volatile environment where policy shifts, system pressures, and external factors can quickly disrupt funding stability.

This session will equip finance officers with practical frameworks, scenario planning tools, and communication strategies to anticipate change, build flexible budgets, and align fiscal infrastructure with evolving priorities. Attendees will leave with a clearer path toward positioning their finance office as a strategic partner—proactively managing risk, supporting reform implementation, and driving better outcomes for children and families.
