Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

The organization that I am most excited about joining is Voices for Children San Antonio. (http://www.voicesforchildrensa.org/)A major goal for this group is to expand early childhood education in my state. I feel that the experience that I gain from joining this group will help in making a difference in my community. I am excited about the knowledge and connections that I will gain by networking with this group. Their mission is in-line with my goal of providing preschool education for all children in order to assure school readiness and creating a love of life long learning. In order to become a member I will need to be passionate about early childhood education and be able to make the time committment necessary to advocate for change.
 
I plan to join my local chamber of commerce (http://lytlechamberofcommerce.com/) Being a member of this group will allow me access to influential people who may join in my goal of providing high quality early childhood experiences for all children. In order to be a member I will need to be a business owner.

A third organization that I will be a member of is one that I will launch myself. This organization will join parents, caregivers and early childhood professionals. We will meet regularly to discuss needs of early childhood education in our community. I will need organizational and leadership skills in order to organize and launch this group. I have demonstrated these skills in the past through the organizations I have operated as a leader and through the professional positions that I have held.

The first two groups I will be a member. The third group I will operate as president/leader.
