Why Connect the Dots?
The early care and education system in the U.S. is in a pivotal moment. New resources are urgently needed, but far too many opportunities are missed when we fail to harness the power of modern technology, re-think the traditional business model and leverage existing resources in powerful and innovative ways. This conference will highlight what’s possible when we make critical connections to create a “greater whole”

Questions Considered.
Where do I begin to build a Shared Service Alliance? How can I find the right ECE programs to participate? Who will provide funding for this work? The Shared Services journey begins with asking the right questions—the conference is a place to hear how others have found answers.
Ideas Discussed.
It all begins with an idea...maybe we could find a way to improve wages … maybe we could do a better job connecting parents with ECE programs … maybe we could spend more time on education and less time on paperwork … the conference is fertile ground to plant the seeds of your idea.
Community Nurtured.
Let’s face it, changing the ECE sector is not for the faint of heart. You need time to be with kindred spirits who see not just “what is wrong and ask why”, but see “what could be and ask why not”? Fellow world changers, there is a seat at this table for you.
