Bright Coalition

The BRIGHT Coalition is open to any individual or organizational representative who is interested and who supports the coalition’s purpose and vision.  In our 10 years of work, our membership has included representatives from the community, health care, business, nonprofit, government, public health, education, mental health, and other sectors. We are actively recruiting, with our priority issues driving recruitment targeting. There is no fee to be a BRIGHT Coalition member, although your organization can donate to BRIGHT or to a specific initiative.
