Past Advocacy Events
The Workforce Behind the Workforce Legislative Luncheon, Wednesday, March 28, 2018
On Wednesday, March 28th Iowa AEYC hosted a legislative luncheon to focus on the early care and education workforce. Our workforce is the foundation that supports Iowa’s parents in getting to work in all other sectors. We have a great turnout that included over 60 people total, with 30 legislators represented from both sides of the aisle. Thanks to all who took the time to join us and advocate for improved compensation and supports for the ECE workforce!
2-Generation Early Childhood Day on the Hill, Monday, March 19, 2018
This year's overarching theme was 2-Generation services to support both young children and their families. On Monday, March 19 early childhood advocates were prepared with facts and fun hand outs for Iowa's legislators at the Iowa Capitol Rotunda. The message, "Children's education and healthy development inspire parents and set the entire family on a more secure path." was shared by the Iowa AEYC staff and supporters. Thank you to all those who participated in the event.
