Recent Task Forces

Recent Task Forces are those that have completed their work and disseminated a final report within the past year. As always, the goal of each of the Task Forces is to construct practical, forward-thinking policy recommendations on relevant international and domestic issues in order to inform and influence policy makers. The important work of these Task Forces is getting attention and we continue to push hard to influence policy outcomes.

Below you will find a short description of each Task Force, as well as links to downloadable reports and materials.
