Interested in participating, but not a NAEYC Member? Join today!

The Public Policy Forum is a members-only even open to current NAEYC members. Take the first step and join the only association that gives you access to information from leading early childhood experts and ensures you will have the tools needed to excel in your job, grow in your career, and stay connected to a professional network of educators across the country.

You should come...but you don’t have to take our word for it! Here's what participants from last year’s Public Policy Forum would like to tell you:

  • "Go! It is an incredible experience that you will regret if you miss it."

  • "Everyone, from first-time advocates to lobbyists, walks away from this forum with more confidence and expertise."

  • "Your voice must be heard and the Forum will give you the tools to do so."

  • "You will be amazed at what you will learn in this short period of time. We need you."

  • "This experience is transformative! You owe it to yourself to attend."

2022 PPF Wrap-Up

A record-breaking 40+ Georgia attendees participated in the 2022 NAEYC Public Policy Forum. Many of these attendees joined at least one of the nine meetings that GAEYC hosted with Georgia's Congressional Delegation to share the challenges facing Georgia's child care industry. Join your colleagues in telling Congress #ChildCareCantWait by:

  • Encouraging others to respond to the action alert by calling or emailing their U.S. Representative and Senators and asking them to pass legislation to invest in child care.

  • Posting on social media – click here for our toolkit.

  • Requesting free #ChildCareCantWait promotional items from GEEARS.
