The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has long been concerned with leadership issues in early childhood. NAEYC has throughout its history offered a variety of leadership opportunities to its membership and others through efforts such as participation in advisory groups for position statement development; consulting editors for peer review of journal articles and books; and board service at local, state and national levels. A couple of years ago NAEYC launched the Building a Lasting Legacy Campaign to raise additional funds to further our leadership efforts. The Legacy Leader Fellows Program is an outgrowth of that Campaign. NAEYC is pleased to be able to extend its leadership development work using enrichment fellowships in partnership with existing early childhood leadership development programs around the country.
