This year’s summit theme, Thoughts Become Things: Manifesting a Bright Future for Black Children and Families, includes featured speakers, concurrent sessions and exhibits to explore and enlighten on various topics associated with the theme - specifically around:

• Literacy and Knowledge
• Student and Family Engagement
• Assets and Resources
• Community and Cultural Identity

We are excited that, for the first time, the summit will be preceded by a Leadership & Equity Advancement Network (LEAN) Gathering and Awards Reception. We look forward to an evening of fellowship with our ECE stakeholders and giving our community leadership award winners their 'flowers'. This will be an opportunity for you to engage with other stakeholders while enjoying great food, good drinks and a live musical performance by Georgia's own Grammy-nominated R&B Singer-songwriter Anthony David!

BCDI-Atlanta's Leadership & Equity Advancement Network (LEAN) has been transformed from monthly webinars into a new online community powered by our Expand ECE (Early Care & Education) initiative seeking to increase and support the diversity of early education leaders throughout the profession.

We invite you to join our new LEAN online community and engage with like-minded early education professionals seeking to advance equity in Georgia through information and resource sharing. You can start by simply introducing yourself. Please help us spread the word!
