In February, seven members of Massachusetts AEYC affiliates, including two from WAAEYC, traveled to Washington D.C. to attend the NAEYC Public Policy Forum. This advocacy event included representation from AEYC affiliates from more than 40 states who attended public policy seminars and visited their home congressional offices on Capitol Hill. The Massachusetts delegation met with education staffers from the offices of Senator Kerry, as well as the national Representatives from their own districts, including Rep. Jim McGovern and Rep. Richard Neal from the Worcester area. Representatives from Cape Cod, Boston and the Berkshires were visited as well. The delegation advocated for the NAEYC's position and recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year which include requests for serious investment in early education and care, which has become a national priority.
