Empowering Educators: highlights from Our Energize, Educate & Empower.
We’re thrilled to share the success of our inaugural Energize, Educate & Empower: Wellness & Appreciation Day for Early Learning Professionals, held on November 8 at the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds! Over 40 dedicated early learning professionals gathered for a day of inspiration, learning, and celebration. Attendees enjoyed engaging keynote sessions from Andrea Hatfield, Purdue Extension Educator & Director, and Erin Ramsey, nationally recognized author and speaker, whose uplifting presentations energized everyone. Special thanks to our sponsors — United Way of Central Indiana, Community Foundation of Boone County, Eli Lilly and Company, IGH Steel, Fanning Howey, Hachette Books and DK Smith — for making this event possible. From meaningful networking to professional development and skill building, the day was a true testament to the power and importance of our early learning community.
