The Fall 2024 EI Leadership Conference is designed for Infant Toddler and Preschool EI Leaders and is focused on inclusion, leadership development, and service delivery. Participants will learn about recent federal policies and procedures impacting early childhood programs and how these are being implemented at the state and local level. Participants will examine how they can promote comprehensive, inclusive and equitable participation for the children and families served by EI. Additional topics include change management, data analysis and reporting, and staff development resources.

1. Describe the federal policy statement on inclusion and how it’s being implemented federally and at the state level
