Policy & Advocacy

The Investment Corporation envisions a Michigan where all young children and their families thrive. Part of how we accomplish this is through advocacy and policy work with many partners across the state. Below are ECIC’s policy priorities for the upcoming  legislative session, policy briefs and fact sheets, along with information about the Think Babies Michigan Policy Initiative, which we help to lead.
