Committee Overview

Our Purpose:

To develop, implement and monitor a strategic plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Florida by 2010.

Our History:

Our committee was established in late 2003 with leadership from the Florida Department of Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (FL CLPPP). This voluntary advisory committee brought together representatives from federal, state, and local government agencies, universities and community organizations to develop a strategic plan to meet the goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning in Florida. The plan was completed in August of 2004.

In 2005, the committee, is called the Committee for the Elimination of Childhood Lead Poisoning (FL CECLP), expanded by establishing workgroups to assist in the implementation of the activities defined in the Florida Strategic Plan for the Elimination of Childhood Lead Poisoning: The Elimination Plan.

The committee continues to grow in membership and now includes nearly sixty stakeholders from across the state. The shared expertise and resources provided by these members continues to be a source of growth and improved effectiveness of the committee.

 

Structure:

The committee is organized into five work groups to address the five components of the strategic plan to eliminate childhood lead poisoning: Screening and Surveillance, Outreach and Education, Lead Source Identification and Reduction (Housing), Case Management and Public Policy.
