Become a WHSA Training Conference Sponsor
Celebrating 25 years of Wisconsin Head Start – partner with us at our Annual Training Conference, February 22–24, 2027.
Each year, WHSA’s Annual Training Conference brings together more than 300 Head Start and early childhood professionals, program leaders, and community partners from across Wisconsin. As we celebrate 25 years of the conference, we’re inviting organizations like yours to stand alongside the people who show up every day for Wisconsin’s youngest children and families.
A Partnership Worth Making: By sponsoring the 2027 WHSA Annual Training Conference, your organization does more than gain visibility – you stand alongside the people who show up every day for Wisconsin’s children and families. That kind of alignment is meaningful, and it is noticed.

Who Will You Reach
Sponsors connect directly with more than 300 attendees representing the full spectrum of Wisconsin’s early childhood field, including:
- Head Start and Early Head Start directors and program leaders
- Front-line educators and support staff
- Parents and family advocates
- Representatives from Tribal, Migrant, Urban, and Rural programs
- Higher education, health care, social services, and community organization partners
These are decision-makers, changemakers, and relationship-builders who are deeply invested in the resources and organizations that show up for their community.
Why It Matters
Head Start and Early Head Start have served Wisconsin children and families for over 50 years, providing comprehensive services that prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and in life. WHSA represents 39 programs across the state, serving more than 16,000 children and families annually, supported by 4,000+ professionals and 6,500+ community volunteers. Your sponsorship is a direct investment in that work. It supports the professional development of the educators and leaders who make Head Start possible, and it strengthens the network that keeps Wisconsin’s early childhood community connected and moving forward.
