This work is a direct result of the 2018 Early Childhood Workforce Design Team's Strategic Plan. Click the button below for an update on the work that has been done since the plan was first developed. 
In Guilford County, we planned a series of advocacy focused sessions that provided opportunities to: 

• Build relationships with other early childhood professionals who hope to create shared
goals in Guilford County, not only for young children, but for the early childhood
workforce, too

• Learn about who makes decisions related to funding and resources for early childhood
programs

• Identify areas that policy makers and the general public should understand to place more
value in your work

• Individually and collectively craft messages for the public and decisions makers
