"Legacy is not leaving something for people. It's leaving something in people." ~ Peter Strople
In 2019, the Association for Early Learning Leaders will celebrate 35 years of investing in leaders in early care and education from all over the nation and beyond. With a laser focus on developing high quality, equipped and empowered leaders, the Association has become the resource for directors, owners and administrators. The ripple effect of our investment in leaders has been and continues to be far reaching and incredibly important as it ultimately impacts the youngest learners and those who teach and care for them.
We invite you to be part of this very special conference honoring the Association and the leaders we serve! This is a must do on your 2019 Training Calendar.
