Two Upcoming Opportunities to Advocate for ECE!
Join Us: Evening in Annapolis for Child Care
Calling all child care professionals and stakeholders! The Alliance is excited to join with partners from across the state as a co-sponsor of the Evening in Annapolis. Join us on February 9 to voice your support for child care initiatives and policies and to protect investments in early care. The Alliance is sponsoring a bus from Montgomery County, and we hope to fill it with local advocates who are passionate about sharing their stories to make a difference for young children and their families. No previous advocacy experience is necessary.
This event is free and includes meetings with legislators, a boxed dinner, and a reception at the State Capitol. Register now via Eventbrite, and don’t forget to reserve a seat on the bus using the form! (Please complete both pieces if you’d like to take the bus.)
