ACEI participates in the Festival of Organizations at the NAEYC Conference in Washington, D.C.

ACEI was among the more than 50 national organizations invited to participate in the Festival of Organizations held in conjunction with the NAEYC Annual Conference, December 7-10, 2005, at the Washington D.C. Convention Center. Formerly known as the One-on-One Dialogue, the Festival of Organizations provides NAEYC conferees a networking opportunity to learn more about other organizations with resources that address the needs of young children.

Former ACEI President Jim Hoot and ACEI members Judit Szente and Vidya Thirumurthy graciously contributed their time to represent ACEI at the Festival. They shared ACEI's mission, presented sample publications, and generated dialogue regarding our activities and upcoming events to promote education and development of the whole child within our global community. We sincerely thank them for representing ACEI when given only a moment's notice. We also thank all of our friends and members who stopped by the ACEI exhibit booth to say "Hello."
