RESEARCHPOLICYPRACTICE 2015 NAEYC Affiliate Leadership Day Reflections Trust is such a big part of a successful transition to the new structure and the meetings at the conference provided both Lisa & I with a huge level of trust in the expertise and commitment of the staff NAEYC has in place to lead us through the next phase and achieve the goals of the Strategic Vision. Kim Tice, Ohio AEYC Thanks again for the great Leadership Day. We felt the speakers and content exceeded our expectations and provided valuable, objective information on how we might strengthen Indiana AEYC as a nonprofit and affiliate. Dianna Wallace, Indiana AEYC Leadership Day was the best ever! Loved Dr. Maroon! The session with Stephanie and Brian on the new membership categories energized & excited both Lisa (our Membership Specialist) and I as we discussed the possibilities. And I was so impressed with Andrea & her presentation on branding.
