AZEDNEWS, January 27, 2014  “Everybody has a stake in early childhood education,” said Anne B. Rawlings with First Things First’s Yavapai Regional Partnership Council. “When children are given the resources they need during those first five years, statistics show they do better in school, the workforce later on, and become more contributing citizens. That affects everybody.” - ARIZONA TOWN HALL CALLS FOR MORE EARLY EDUCATION RESOURCES

Activities: Monday's lunch program speaker was Adele Diamond, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia and the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Monday's dinner program speaker was Rob Grunewald, Associate Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.  (Read a recent Q&A with Rob Grunewald that appears in the just published issue of the ASBA Journal.)
