2025 Leadership Institute (Invite Only)

During the Leadership Institute, invited Tribal leaders and their child care administrators will be exploring a vision for their early learning services. Together, they will be looking at the expansive opportunities available to create comprehensive supports for their children and families. This early care and education systems building focus will be useful in developing your Tribal CCDF Plans that are due in July of 2025 and this session will provide you with dedicated time with your Tribal leader to strengthen and grow your programs and services. The Institute will be facilitated by experts who are at the forefront of operating their own Tribal child care program.

During some sessions of the Institute, leaders in attendance will also be able to network and engage with their state counterparts in government and advocacy – their own state child care administrators and advocates from their states. These sessions will be held in conjunction with the Administrators-Advocates Convening that is hosted by the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) and the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC). These sessions are indicated by joint session in the agenda.

Additionally, NICCA is gaging interest in scheduling advocacy visits to Capitol Hill. If there is widespread interest, NICCA will schedule these sessions, provide you with our policy agenda, and organize transport to Capitol Hill from Herndon. Site visits will be scheduled for Day Two (during the sessions) or Day Three (after session ends), depending on availability and interest.

This workshop is intended to be guided by you – our experts can work with you directly in any area in which you need to focus.
