Great Job!!!!
I have attended many, many special events such as the one yesterday. In my entire career I don’t believe I have ever attended one that on every aspect was as well done as the Early Education Summit.
From the physical location, to quality of the
speakers plus opportunity for audience interaction, to the careful adherence to maintaining schedule, and finally to all the support work done by the full IAEYC team, this event was exceptionally well done. It was relaxing, entertaining, motivating, and educational all at once. It is extremely unusual that all of these attributes can be accomplished in one event.
In the sports world, we would say your entire team hit a Grand Slam with the event yesterday.
Congratulations to the Idaho AEYC.

I wanted to tell you that you and your team did an amazing job putting on the business summit. I have been to several summits, classes and roundtables over the last year and this one by far was the best. Nice speakers, organization and professionalism.
You should be very proud of yourself and your team. Have a wonderful holiday.

You hit that all the way out of the park! My goodness – it was a perfect event. From venue, food programs and table decorations – to the fabulous speakers and content. I’m so impressed (and I am sort of picky about events to be honest). Thank you for doing it – for the community and for the kids. I’m feeling pretty optimistic about things – seems there is a degree of readiness we haven’t seen before…good work by good people eventually gets it done.

That was an absolutely outstanding summit yesterday!!! I left with such a positive and upbeat attitude! The speakers were all great and the organization was top-notch. I just wish we could get more legislators to hear our message. You are to be congratulated and thanked a thousand times. I was so glad that IBCEE could be a part of this event.

You put together as good a session on the business 
case for early childhood education as I have ever attended. Everything about it was right on. I am very energized and grateful. We are positioned to make progress….
We have to find a way to become a part of the Alliance platform. We won’t be successful in achieving these goals without the foundation upon which everything is built. We cannot expect more dollars to come from the state, but as Elaine said there are dollars being spent with little or no return on investment and early childhood is the best ROI we can have.
I want to get a copy of the video you showed. It was very powerful and moving.
Again, great job and thank you!
