Dear <<First Name>>,
As you know, child care is the essential industry that supports all other industries, both today and tomorrow. Quality child care ensures today’s parents can keep working and will be more productive/stable workers.
Arizona’s child care infrastructure continues to deal with a severe workforce shortage. It will continue unless innovative, long-term solutions are found.
As a leader in your community’s early childhood system, your knowledge and expertise can help us address this critical problem. That’s why I am excited to invite you to the:
Central East Community Forum on
Strengthening the Child Care Workforce
April 18, 2023
Eastern Arizona College - Thatcher Arizona
8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
A continental breakfast is included
At the forum, you will join other leaders in your community to learn more about this critical issue and to identify potential solutions. Our discussion will focus on three main areas:
- Economic Impact
- Creating a Workforce Pipeline
- Workforce Development and Retention
Additional logistics and short background materials to help you prepare will be sent to attendees before the event.
After the Community Forum concludes, you are also invited to an FTF lunch from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This lunch is only for FTF council members, board members and staff. It is an opportunity for us to come together as a team and casually discuss our work.
