Exchange Leadership Initiative

I got this wonderful news today, it is truly an honor to be included:

Dear Rick,

Congratulations – you have been chosen to be an Exchange Leader. You will be included in the article featuring our newest Exchange Leaders in the July/August issue of Exchange magazine.

The Exchange Leadership Initiative (ELI) launched in November 2014, with the intention of making leadership more visible in the field of Early Care and Education. Our early childhood field has strong leaders who accomplish the important work of educating young children, as well as supporting and advocating for children, their families, and their communities. Exchange Leaders are everywhere, doing powerful work in their communities, regions and across the world.

You are joining the more than 300 current Exchange Leaders. Your passion for the field and your commitment and perseverance over the years is important to the work we all do. I welcome you and look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Pam Boulton, Ed.D.

Coordinator, Exchange Leadership Initiative
