One of the Maryland Philanthropy Network’s key roles is to connect philanthropy with policymakers and public officials and we are pleased to welcome Catherine E. Pugh, Mayor of Baltimore City for a conversation with our membership.
Join us as we close out the year and provide follow up from programs held in 2018. This will also serve as a time to raise regional or national initiatives and investments of interest, learn from other education funders, identify the potential for collaboration and explore new investment opportunities.
Early childhood professionals play an essential role in communities, helping young children to develop, supporting working families, and enabling business operations. While affordable and high-quality childcare is critical, the early childcare sector is underfunded and dysfunctional. COVID-19 has exacerbated longstanding issues, exacting a devastating impact on childcare centers and the professionals that staff them. In this program, we will hear more about the issues impacting the early childhood workforce at the individual, employer, and systems levels. We will explore the role of employer collaboration with funders and other stakeholders to advance necessary changes in business practices and public policies to support these essential workers.
This is the annual meeting of Maryland Philanthropy Network leaders (staff and chairs) of affinity groups and roundtables. At this meeting, we will discuss affinity group planning and collaboration.
