We are pleased you are exploring avenues to Get Involved in NYSAEYC!
Our organization is built on the strength of our members. We encourage you to participate in your professional organization. There is truly a “niche” for everyone!
Do you have an area of expertise that you would like to share with others? The Ask an Expert page on our web site is a place where students and others can go to email questions to those who have an expertise in a particular area. It is a wonderful way to share your talents with the field and network across the state.
You can pick the length of time you want to be available and the area for which you would be willing to be contacted.
Send our Professional Development Chair, Nancy Gabriel, your contact information. She will call to discuss the opportunities available.
