Pathways Statewide Steering Committee:
Capture
In 2003, Alaska joined a national effort when the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to build capacity to prevent domestic violence throughout the state. The Cooperative Agreement, led to the development of the Pathways Statewide Steering Committee. Since that time, Pathways members from diverse professions, regions, cultures and experiences have worked to develop, support, coordinate and evaluate the Prevention Plan, each year the plan is updated and updates can be viewed here: Pathways FY 2016
 
 
By working together on the seven goals put forward in this plan, we can achieve our vision to end domestic and teen dating violence in Alaska. For information about the Pathways Statewide Steering Committee, contact kmoore@andvsa.org.
