WHAT: The September 2010 Leadership Institute, “Mission Possible: Accessing Opportunities on Head Start’s Horizon”
SPONSOR: National Head Start Association (NHSA)
WHEN: Monday, September 20, 2010 to Thursday, September 23, 2010
WHERE: L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C.
DESCRIPTION: The Head Start community faces a number of policy opportunities and challenges on its horizon. There will be opportunities to improve schools and develop communities, engage parents and families, build community assets, and increase program quality. The challenges include the need to sustain and increase federal funding for Head Start and Early Head Start and to increase accountability, as intended by the Administration through the recompetition of Head Start grants, and the revision of the Head Start Program Performance Standards. At NHSA’s September Leadership Institute you will hear from key federal policymakers and national experts about recent policy developments; provide input into the development of NHSA’s policy agenda, grassroots advocacy efforts, and research agenda; and develop your skills in the areas of communications, social media/technology, state Head Start association capacity building, and strategic planning. This institute is an excellent professional development opportunity for leaders in the early care and education community including national, regional, state Head Start association presidents and executive directors; Head Start-state collaboration directors; Head Start and Early Head Start program directors, parents, teachers, and staff; and members of the NHSA Board of Directors.
