Why I became an Ambassador? Natural fit with many aspects of my current position Opportunity to spread the word about the DEC Recommended Practices Chance to improve practices in the early intervention system Help ensure that other sectors know about the Practices and how they can support inclusion Opportunity to help families understand what they should expect from their team

Some Ambassador Activities Trainings and conference presentations Facebook live and webinar Newsletter article Embedding RPs in professional development offerings and system policies/procedures

What have I gained as an Ambassador? Deeper understanding of the Practices and the products available to support implementation Support from other Ambassadors and ECTA/DEC staff Exposure to different options for presenting materials Opportunity to reach broader array of audiences

Why a Family Ambassador? Because families play the most critical role in their children’s development, there is a need to share the DEC Recommended Practices, and the ECTA Center’s resources with families, in order to support family engagement, empowerment, and true partnerships.  ECTACenter.org

Why a Family Ambassador? To give families tools and resources that can help them advocate for their own children To nurture and support family leaders through co-training and co-presenting with their professional Ambassador peers in their states. ECTACenter.org

Family Ambassador Roles To bring awareness to the existence of the RPs and the resources that support their implementation within the Parent Center network To collaborate with fellow Family Ambassadors to develop and share strategies and resources for informing families about the RPs

Family Ambassador Roles To share the DEC RPs and ECTA resources with families and with Parent Center colleagues and staff In states where there is also a Professional Ambassador, collaborate with that individual to further raise awareness of the RPs
