Melinda McGuire and Becky Mullins met with officials in Frankfort on October 2, 2018 in efforts to create a stronger partnership with Cabinet officials by giving a voice for the children in out-of-home care and their caretakers. Deputy Secretary Putnam is very positive in regards to re-establishing the connections with the state association.
