Powerless Children Need Powerful Friends
Early Education for All's Campaign Advisory Committee (CAC) is a unique coalition of leaders from business, early childhood, labor, religion, health care, education, and philanthropy, which shares the belief that achieving Massachusetts' economic and educational goals relies on improving the early learning opportunities we provide our children. The Campaign Policy Committee is a sub-committee of the CAC comprised of early education and care leaders representing distinct groups and perspectives including Head Start, YMCAs, public schools, for-profit and non-profit early childhood programs, family child care, resource and referral agencies, and others.
