Aloha Lenika, That is exciting! I presented with my colleague at NAEYC Conference in 2011. It was held in Anaheim and It was fun. Remember to breathe and enjoy, Don't sweat the small stuff and go with the flow. The participants are eager to learn and tell their stories.
Can't wait to hear about your experience if you wish to share.
I will not be attending the National conference this year. I wish you the best.
My state conference is tomorrow and I am excited to see old friends, make new ones and learn something new.
Be well,
'Jackie' Jacquelyn

Aloha Jacqueline,
I will be attending and presenting. I am super excited, first time attending this national conference and visiting Washington yay! I hope to learn what other professionals will be sharing, new knowledge, networking, and get inspired by our teaching community. I am from San Diego.

Aloha,
It's autumn and NAEYC conference season is weeks away. (Washington, DC - November 16-19, 2022) In the state I live, Hawaii, our chapter HIAEYC, will be hosting a face to face state-wide conference since the start of the pandemic, (March 2020) this upcoming weekend. I am going, I wouldn't miss it.
For me, conferences have been a perk of the profession I have chosen (ECE). I gain insight, make life-long friends and connections. I usually learn something that will help me help the children and families I serve. I feel validated for the work and the long hours. (We have all been there).
I am wondering if other early childhood professionals are planning on attending NAEYC-sponsored conferences, either local, state and/or the national conference in D.C. ( FYI: Next year, 2023, the national conference is in Nashville). Is your local chapter of NAEYC hosting a conference or workshop in 2022. Here are my questions:.
Are you attending?
What do you hope to gain?
My name is Jacquelyn "Jackie" Ching.
I am a life-long learner and currently work with children and adults on the spectrum.
