What are states doing with economic recovery funds that are allocated to fund State Early Childhood Advisory Councils?

To help provide an update on states' progress in using these funds to get a Council off the ground as well as information about the workings of existing Councils, the National Women's Law Center and CLASP are hosting a free conference call.

Update on State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

More details about the key provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are available from NWLC and CLASP.

The call will be moderated by Helen Blank of the National Women's Law Center and Danielle Ewen from CLASP. Presenters will discuss the progress states are making in planning and implementing Councils and include:

Rachel Demma, Senior Policy Analyst in Early Childhood Education, National Governors Association
Karen Schimke, President, Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, New York
Dave Edie, Early Education Policy Analyst, Wisconsin Council on Children and Families
