Every two years the Crane Lecture Series brings a high-profile, nationally known speaker to Columbus, Ohio to inspire and engage us on a key early childhood or education topic. This year, Dr. Valora Washington, President & CEO of The CAYL Institute, will describe challenges and opportunities facing the early childhood workforce; challenge our thinking about how we advocate for children and families; and share how other states are tackling workforce challenges and better supporting early childhood educators. Dr. Washington will leave us with actionable solutions for anyone working in early care, education, research, or advocacy. Join us on Wednesday, March 29 from 4-6pm at the Columbus Museum of Art for this (free) motivational and meaningful event, made better by your voice and perspective. The one-hour lecture will be followed by a reception where you will have the opportunity to connect with others and to meet Dr. Washington.
