Minnessota Legislative Early Childhood Caucus...
The Minnesota Legislative Early Childhood Caucus was formed in 2002. The purpose of the caucus is to influence and shape public policies that impact Minnesota's youngest children, their families and caregivers. The caucus seeks to educate legislators, create dialogue, build consensus, and provide direction for legislative action. The caucus is open to all members of the Minnesota legislature.
In addition, they sponsor several early childhood forums. Many of these have already been done this year, but there are still a couple scheduled in our local area...
Alexandria – Nov 14th 6:30-8:00
Technical College
1601 Jefferson St.
Alexandria, MN
Montevideo - November 15th 6:30- 8:00 p.m.
Sanford Elementary School- Lunch Room
412 S. 13th Street
Montevideo, MN 56265
At these bipartisan community forums, community members can:
· Listen to your legislators talk about their role in making Minnesota a better place for young children.
· Be a part of a community dialogue and talk to your legislators about what is important to you and your family.
· Connect with other community members actively supporting young children in the area.
For more information, contact Lisa Cariveau at lcarivea@umn.edu or 952-239-9137
If you live in the areas of Alexandria or Montevideio, I urge you to take part in these forums and make your opinions on early chilhood issues known to your representatives.
