Current Council members shared why they applied:
I applied in an effort to bring forward the K鈥�3 voice. As a kindergarten teacher, I saw how the PK鈥揔 transition was critical, yet knew how some teachers of Grades 1鈥�3 did not see themselves as early childhood educators. 鈥� Brian Kingrey, Iowa
I鈥檓 very proud of the Council鈥檚 engagement with issues of equity and diversity. We鈥檝e worked together to bring often marginalized voices to the center, and we are excited to watch our Affiliates do the same. 鈥� Chris Amirault, Oklahoma
I was seeking opportunities as a Latino woman from the Spanish-speaking community to share my perspectives and to seek how I can contribute to advance equity and social justice issues in the early childhood profession and related services in 51吃瓜网. 鈥� Margarita Marichal, Puerto Rico
It is important for me to be of service. I see the need to advance the awareness, appreciation, and inclusion of all members of our 51吃瓜网 community and to expand the participation of all in our early childhood field. The Council is one way to do just that.听鈥� Cary Larson-McKay, California
