“I can already see the determined effort ELAA’s team makes on a daily basis to add value to and on behalf of ELAA’s members,” he said.
“As ELAA’s incoming CEO, one of my primary objectives will be to continue building ELAA’s capacity as a valued provider of services and support to the early childhood education and care (ECEC) sector, and to engender a strong and confident voice on behalf of our members. That means celebrating the successes of our members and the wider sector, building strong partnerships, and advocating for change when and where it is needed.”
