Session Description
We are excited to again offer a series of free Driving Change Sessions on Sunday morning of the conference. This year we will talk about how to "Build Our Future Together" across the lifespan.
Participate in one of these five sessions and be a part of an interactive learning and sharing environment where you will hear from and share ideas with leaders from around the network on successes and best practices in these five key areas - Early Childhood, K-12, Transition, Community Living and Aging. These sessions are free for all registered conference attendees. See the below description of this session and its presenters.
Navigating Change: Lessons Learned along a Child's Early Developmental Journey
During this session, attendees will learn how the Act Early Ambassador Program is a model for social change, while using the collective impact model and action learning. Best practices and leadership approaches for engaging families, caregivers, providers, and communities in early childhood development will be shared. State and federal policy priorities for the new Administration and Congress will be discussed. Discover opportunities to leverage your resources and share strategies with others.
