This paper describes the process used to convene a foster care alumni network in the development of a new statewide chapter of the Foster Care Alumni of America, a non- profit organization designed to connect alumni in the advocacy of improving foster care policy and practice. Priority areas for the organization were developed through a participatory action research process involving the use of Concept Mapping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
