Call for Presenters
We look forward to receiving many national Call for Presenter applications from the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start grantees. It is with great pleasure to host our Annual Conference with so many wonderful and familiar faces from the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start world.
Some sessions will be recorded and some sessions will be live. NMSHSA may also ask some presenters to be part of a mini event throughout the year. Once all proposals are received, NMSHSA will provide more updates.
For those applications that have been chosen for our virtual conference, the presenters will receive first hand training from the virtual platform managers, as well as the latest update links and forms for having a successful workshop with the MSHS members.
NMSHSA has taken the time to research to what the migrant and seasonal head start CEOs, Directors, Staff and MSHS parents will need to be apart of this virtual experience.

Coronavirus Disease 2019
Supporting MSHS Grantees
The spread of the Coronavirus (COVID–19) and the intensity of media coverage surrounding it may be overwhelming, perhaps even frightening.
Prevention is a priority at this time, especially during cold and flu season.
Migrant and Seasonal Head Start is a trusted voice in rural communities and it is important that families can turn to you for reassurance and guidance.
