"Capitol Plus" Launched by CDPI

buthee_and_fitzharris_for_website.jpg 

For years, over 7,000 education practitioners, legislators and policy makers have been reading legislative analyst Tim Fitzharris's CDPI Bulletin. Fitzharris (at left, with Nina Buthee, ed. dir. of the Child Development Administrators Association), is a wily guide through the jungles of Sacramento, so it's very good news that he's now offering, through the Child Development Institute, "Capitol Plus," an insider's mix of facts, policy decisions, legislative buzz, fiscal explanations and questions. Annual subs are $49. "Capitol Plus," a web pub, will appear "as newsworthy information develops" -- every day, once a week, whenever there is an issue to be addressed, using the same philosophy Fitzharris has always honored: if there's something that needs to be said, we'll say it.

HSMC Sponsors Richard Louv at FEE Leadership Instituterichard_louv.jpg 

"Being on a soccer field is fine. But a soccer field is not nature." So spoke author Richard Louv ("The Last Child in the Woods"), at the Leadership Institute of the Foundation for Early Education (FEE) held February 19 in San Diego and sponsored by HSMC, the Child Welfare League of America, and the Child Development Policy Institute (CDPI).  In his presentation, Louv reinforced his point by observing a paradox: the rise in childhood obesity over the last two decades has paralleled the increase in organized children's sports.

The Institute, held over a two-day period, also featured, among many others, Luz Vega-Marquis of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, talking on how to raise money for non-profits in a tough economy; Jeff Bormaster, of the Child Welfare League of America, emphasizing that "you don't work for the board, you are in the driver's seat;" Bob Zimmerman on fund-raising; and author Diane Frankenstein ("Reading Together").

HSMC President Giuliana Halasz is vice-president of FEE, and HSMC CEO Dennis Vicars is president of CDPI.

"Learning How to Be A Good Boss" 

Once we get the "shiny stars" on our chest annoucing we're the boss...we need to remember how we got there. It was by listening to others, being interested in their concerns and their welfare, encouraging their talents, and working collegially with them on projects of mutual interest and purpose.
