We are thrilled to have you join us for the 20th annual conference, held at the Westin Chicago North Shore in Wheeling, Illinois. The vision of the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership to empower leaders and advance the field to promote excellence in early childhood education is embedded in Leadership Connections. We strive to be an important catalyst for change as we implement initiatives that strengthen the leadership capacity of early childhood educators. The conference provides you with opportunities to attend workshop sessions relevant to your complex role, network with professionals who relate to your trials and triumphs, and be inspired by powerful specialists in our field.
The interconnected domains of the Whole Leadership Framework will guide you through the Leadership Connections conference. Which tools will you add to your whole leadership toolbox? Which will you refine or master? Together, we are striving to help families and children succeed.
