One of PCSAO’s greatest strengths has
been our advocacy efforts, which is a key element to delivering on
our mission. We are proud
to have, as part of our legislative/advocacy staff, Gayle Channing
Tenenbaum as the Director of Policy and Governmental Affairs, and
Greg Kapcar as the Legislative Director. Gayle joined PCSAO in
1986, as the Legislative Director, and has become the knowledgeable
and respected voice for children and other vulnerable populations
throughout Ohio . Greg joined PCSAO in May 2005 with twelve
years experience providing direct service to adults with mental
illness, unruly youth, and abused/neglected children as well as
working on local and statewide public policy issues impacting
children and their families. As a team they possess
tremendous political savvy during the legislative process,
successfully merging value and understanding of child welfare work,
bringing coalitions of people together to come to consensus on a
course of action, and successfully moving forward for policy change.
