2020 HIPPY National Virtual  Conference: Together We Are HIPPY Strong

​

We cordially invite you to join us as we further our conversation about the COVID-19 global health pandemic and how it has impacted the way we deliver our services, manage operations, support families and communities, and maintain personal well-being.

​

Through two days of general sessions, May 14-15, experts in health and wellness, academia, advocacy, government, philanthropy, and community development will share their knowledge on the pandemic, industry responses, solutions, and how do we move forward in what has evolved as the "new normal."  Our keynote speakers will offer words of encouragement that will inspire and motivate you personally and professionally. 

​

Of exceptional note, at each National Conference, we honor Dr. Avima D. Lombard, HIPPY founder, by recognizing leading individuals and organizations in our HIPPY network of affiliates that evoke the spirit of her work and our mission of helping prepare young learners for school and lifelong education.  Whether physically among peers in person or online, our Avima D. Lombard Awards Ceremony provides an opportunity to reflect on the transformative nature of our work in early childhood academic success, school readiness, and home visiting. 

​

The National Conference is open to industry professionals, educators, funders, government officials, community leaders, researchers, parents, and those uniquely engaged in educational opportunities for early learners.
