National Parent Leadership Team®.  Parents Anonymous® Inc. is the host of the Parent Leadership Network and the National Parent Leadership Team® members provide ongoing leadership and direction to all aspects of the Network operations.   Members of the Team also function as moderators and take responsibility for posting all information shared through this online community.
 
National Parent Leadership Team®
The National Parent Leadership Team® was developed in 1994 from a vision inspired by Parents Anonymous® Inc.'s commitment to parent leadership and shared leadership. The Team is a national organizational unit that ensures that parents share leadership with staff in all policy and program decisions related to Parents Anonymous® Inc.   The Team is composed of a diverse group of mothers, fathers and grandparents who demonstrated leadership in their local Parents Anonymous® Programs and organizations and who represent the broad ethnic, cultural and geographic diversity of Parents Anonymous® Programs throughout the country. Each member is nominated for a three-year term by their local Parents Anonymous® organization.  
Parents Anonymous® Inc.

Parents Anonymous® Inc . was founded in 1969 by a courageous parent who sought help to create a safe and caring home for her family. Working in shared leadership with her social worker, they launched a unique solution for parents who wanted to strengthen their families – the Parents Anonymous® Group based on shared leadership.   Today Parents Anonymous® Inc. is an international family strengthening organization which leads a dynamic International Network of 267 accredited organizations and local affiliates that implement quality, proven effective Parents Anonymous® Programs for adults and children.  

From its beginnings, Parents Anonymous® Inc. has demonstrated the effectiveness of engaging parents in meaningful leadership roles to ensure better outcomes for families.   Parents Anonymous® Inc. was the first family strengthening organization to:

  • Recognize the impact of parents speaking publicly about their life experiences;  
  • Identify the importance of parents working side-by-side with service providers and policymakers to provide direction on family strengthening issues; and
  • Advance an ambitious research agenda on parent leadership and shared leadership.
