Ksaeyc Lawrence Chapter

A Message from KSAEYC

The KSAEYC Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our members. KSAEYC has had a long and vibrant past and each of you has played an important part in that. The current and past KSAEYC Board of Directors have been proud to serve you over the years. Over the past few years, the Board has diligently considered many options, engaged with State partners, and had ongoing conversations with NAEYC leadership about the future of our organization. All these conversations have informed the Board’s decision to surrender our charter to NAEYC and move forward with legally dissolving KSAEYC. Although we are disappointed to have to surrender the charter, we encourage you to engage in the membership benefits offered during this transition and beyond.

Please plan to attend the membership meeting on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. CST to vote on the dissolution of the 501C status of KSAEYC. Join the Zoom meeting using Meeting ID: 656 047 4490 and Passcode: 361576.

An event to honor the legacy of KSAEYC will be held later in 2024. An email with details will be forthcoming.

Visit the NAEYC website to learn about our self-paced Online Learning opportunities (certificates provided), and our new Advancing Equity Initiative page with Equity resources for every teacher. We hope to see you at our Annual Conference & Expo in Anaheim, CA November 6-9.

NAEYC salutes your passion and commitment to the early childhood profession, and we are honored to serve as your professional association. For questions, please contact NAEYC at 800-424-2460

Today our team of SLPs had the pleasure of attending the 2024 Lawrence Child Development Conference hosted by @hilltopcdc. We had such an enriching time hearing from keynote speaker, @emotionalmilestones, learning from other professionals in our community and Lisa delivered a rockin’ presentation about Early Communication Milestones and Intervention Strategies. • • • #speechtherapy #slp #ot #occupationaltherapy #lawrencekansas #kansascity #lawrenceksslp #lawrenceksot
