We talked with President and CEO of Illinois Action for Children, April Janney, on the new Maria Whelan Leadership Institute and Early Childhood Emerging Leaders Fellowship launching this summer. This new fellowship builds leadership capacity at the mid-career level, which is key in nurturing and increasing the pool of new and diverse leaders in the field. Together with this new initiative and our programs at Erikson Institute that focus on established leaders, the pipeline of early childhood leaders and people of color at decision-making tables will grow in numbers.
