 “What Will Your Legacy Be?”

 We all know that being an Early Childhood Director is rewarding and, at the same time, full of challenging decisions.  Kara will help us open our vision to see how our decisions today impact our schools and its children for years, even into future generations.  Kara Gore will help each of us clarify what we want our legacy in this field to be, and how we can accomplish that goal.  We will look at the impact of both short- and long-term decisions, and how these can alter much of the future in ways we don’t always consider or contemplate.

 Each decision, big or small, that we make creates a new facet of our legacy!
