Event Type(s):
All Categories

Description:

This leadership experience was created to continue the legacy of our dear friend and Head Start colleague Vanessa Rich.  Vanessa was a brilliant and formidable leader, a fearless advocate, and a kind, devoted friend. Vanessa once said, "In Head Start, we don't just stand on the porch, we come all the way into the house."  That is how she lived: all the way in. Let's come together to fuel her passion to expand opportunity for vulnerable children and families. We will celebrate her kind spirit that will continue to inspire and fortify the entire Head Start community. As Vanessa is no longer able to be the voice for young children and families who do not have their own voice, it is time for you..for each of us..to pick up this responsibility by demonstrating that impactful leaders lead through an artful mix of heart, passion and spirit and by making sure we are always living "all the way in".
