We are stronger together! The Virginia Head Start Association feels strongly that Directors need a safe place to share and learn from each other. This is the Head Start leadership go-to place!
Designed for new and experienced Virginia Head Start Directors and management staff, our Director’s Network is an excellent place to share ideas and problem solve together on a regular basis.
Our Director’s Network meets via Zoom every Friday at 10:00 am to discuss relevant topics for early childhood development and program governance. We also ask questions and brainstorm ideas via email listserv on a regular basis.
