ECPC DEC Early Childhood Leadership Initiative – Cohort 2 2019
The Early Childhood Personnel Center (ECPC) in partnership with the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) invites you to be a part of the 2019-2020 Early Childhood Leadership Cohort. The goal of the Early Childhood Leadership Initiative is to provide leadership training to emerging and existing leaders. The ultimate goal is that these leaders from institutes of higher education, doctoral students, professional development providers, and families will serve on local, state, national, and federal committees and councils and/or provide leadership through teaching/provision of professional development. This includes potentially serving as leaders within the professional associations.
It is our goal to develop a series of leadership cohorts that will eventually provide mentorship and support to one another as well as mentorship and support to others in the field at the local, state, and federal levels.
