2012 Leadership Summit
Wednesday, November 14 – Thursday, November 15
Embassy Suites, Syracuse New York
Each year, the Early Care & Learning Council (The Council) brings together the State’s leaders and other advocates of progressive child care policies, for its Leadership Summit. The Council updates the field on the current status of public policy issues at the state and federal level and prepares its membership for what the future holds for early childhood. This year, participants will hear and discuss the latest policy developments, cutting edge research and information to use in their communities to move policy forward to improve child care for children, families and child care professionals.
We are very excited to be working with several partners to help New York’s leaders understand the critical role they play in strengthening the early care and learning system.
Join us for this exhilarating two-day event which includes national and state leaders: Janice Molnar, Office of Children & Family Services; Bill Millett, Scope View Strategic Advantage; Walter S. Gilliam, Ph.D., Yale School of Medicine, Child Study Center; Grace Reef, Child Care Aware of America; Harriet Dichter, Delaware Office of Early Learning; Helen Blank, National Women’s Law Center; Bob Frawley, Council on Children and Families; Co-chair: NYS Early Childhood Advisory Council; Sherry Cleary, NY Early Childhood Professional Development Institute, Co-chair: NYS Early Childhood Advisory Council; Kate Breslin, Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy.
