[Tricountydirectorsgroup] FW: Parents @ Symposium: Scholarship Applications Due Friday!

[Lorraine Kinney-Kitchen]

Please let me know if there is any parents you have in mind to apply for the Scholarship funds to attend the Symposium (info below).
Parents are much more influential than all of us put together. They can speak to the real issues related to child care from their perspective and that of their children and that can be much more effective than advocates speaking on their behalf.
thanks
Lorraine

Subject: Parents @ Symposium: Scholarship Applications Due Friday!

Reminder: Applications to sponsor a parent advocate at Symposium are due Friday, January 13.

Parents play a key role in helping Members of Congress understand why child care laws need to be strengthened. Our previous Parents @ Symposium programs have been incredibly successful in motivating parents to be more involved in advocacy and we have seen parents have a real influence on policymakers' decisions. We would like to invite all Child Care Resource & Referral member agencies (CCR&Rs) and State Networks to sponsor a parent advocate at NACCRRA's National Policy Symposium, March 6-10, 2012.

NACCRRA will be providing a limited number of $750 scholarships to help underwrite the cost of sponsorship. We are putting together a great program to help ensure that your parent advocates are strong additions to both your Day on the Hill visits with Members of Congress, as well as parent advocacy leaders when they return to your state following Symposium. As a reminder, we are looking for parents who both want to be a leader and have a story to tell (i.e.- affordability, availably or quality of care).

Please visit our Parents @ Symposium webpage<http://capwiz.com/naccrra/utr/1/GUOPRDGHPO/BOJURDGKKR/7786884231> to learn more about the program, including:
