Our June 13th meeting was very well attended with lots of new directors in the area taking advantage of the training provided by Jeanette Paulson (WECA) on “The Changing Landscape of the Early Childhood and Your Role as a Professional.” Thank you to Robin at Project Bridges for coordinating this training opportunity.
