The information we gather throughout those meetings with providers helps to guide our work and discussions with state leaders.

Although the voting membership is limited by our by-laws. Our meetings are always open to the public, where the chat and opportunities for comment are welcome.

Ensure availability, affordability, and access to early education throughout the state.
