Had a great time in DC this week connecting with state advocates. Was excited to stop at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) office! It was wonderful to connect with the amazing staff at NAEYC and attend my first governing Board meeting. Thank you Michelle Kang, Mark Day, Katelyn Wilkerson, Zeema Kapacee, Alissa Mwenelupembe, Ed.D., and Nanette Lawson for being welcoming host! Looking forward to seeing everyone November 6-9 in Anaheim! If you haven’t registered for #NAEYCAC early bird registration is open now: https://lnkd.in/grfgnW7s
