The Illinois HS/EHS Directors Meeting is a monthly meeting for Executive Directors, Program Directors, and senior leaders from Head Start and Early Head Start programs across Illinois. It meets every third Thursday at 1:00 p.m.

WHY JOIN
The meeting covers Head Start and Early Head Start updates, policy, and the timely issues that are front and center at the federal, state, and local level. Members use the time to ask questions, brainstorm solutions, and share resources with colleagues who are dealing with the same issues. Between meetings, the listserv connects members through peer questions and responses facilitated by IHSA.
