Twenty years ago our economic and workforce development groups discussed the growing challenge in our workforce and science showed us that high-quality, accessible, affordable childcare was crucial for strong workforces. Twenty years later we find ourselves having the same conversation and the science hasn't changed. Join us for a panel discussion on "The Business Case for Childcare; why quality, accessible, affordable childcare is critical for our region’s success" We'll discuss challenges and opportunities, pre- and post-COVID. Guest speakers include Beth Rhinehart, Bristol Chamber of Commerce CEO; Kathy Waugh, Executive Director YWCA of NETN and SWVA; Cassandra Caffee Morelock, United Way SWVA Early Childhood Initiative First Tennessee Development District; and Samantha Gray, Executive Director of Attachment Parenting International This event is via Zoom and pre-registration is required.
