Building Foundations, Cultivating Excellence: A Head Start Leadership Summit

Right now, Head Start and Early Head Start programs all across the country need prepared, innovative, and committed leadership. The Leadership Education and Development Summit (LEADS) has much to offer to enhance our community’s innovative best practices and skills.

As a virtual conference, LEADS will feature a format to enhance the benefits of remote learning. In addition to an opening and closing keynote each day, every breakout time slot will feature three concurrent breakout sessions and recordings will be available for 30 days after the conference so you can catch anything you might have missed.
