Current LIC parent voting members were surveyed regarding the nature of family representation on these councils. Demographic information from each survey respondent was compared with known demographic characteristics of the Illinois family population. Results indicated that the LIC survey respondents had higher incomes and educational levels and were less likely to belong to an ethnic minority than the Illinois family population. A substantial majority of survey respondents acknowledged support for the representation of other families. However, these respondents reported they were only somewhat likely to actually represent other families. While more than 85 percent of the respondents felt training was important to their role of representation of other families, over half of the respondents reported that they had received very little training.
