Raising the Profile of Pre-K: A National Strategy Session

The Pre-K Now 2007 National Satellite Conference
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
12:30-2:30pm ET

Broadcast live via satellite to viewing sites nationwide

Each year, Pre-K Now produces a conference for pre-kindergarten advocates and supporters across the nation. But, instead of making attendees travel to one central location, we broadcast the conference program using satellite television and invite local communities to set up their own viewing sites, complete with pre- and post-broadcast activities if they so choose. In 2006, more than 2,000 people participated at sites in 35 states. For 2007, volunteers across the country have already set up a record number of sites, and more are registering every day. There is still time to set up a viewing site in your area. Whether you are organizing local conference activities or attending a local viewing site, with your help we can make this the biggest Pre-K Now conference ever.

This year's topic is "Raising the Profile of Pre-K." Here's just some of what you can expect from the conference program:

• Strategies for collaboration, outreach, grassroots campaigns, and candidate education from advocates across the country who are successfully working to expand pre-k programs and improve quality;
• Interviews with legislators and governors about the advocacy efforts that helped them move their pre-k proposals forward and move pre-k to the top of the public agenda; and
• Local brainstorming and planning activities to take the lessons shared and apply them to the pre-k environment in your area.
