Register Today: Call on Supporting Family, Friend, and Neighbor Child Care

by Helen Blank, Director, Leadership and Public Policy, 
National Women's Law Center 

Every day, millions of working parents rely on home-based child care arrangements, including family child care and care by family, friends, and neighbors, for their children. Given the essential role family child care and FFN care plays for so many families, it is important to understand the role that unions are playing to support these providers and the lessons they have learned.

The National Women's Law Center has scheduled the second in our series of calls that will examine child care unionization and other strategies for improving compensation, benefits, and working conditions for family child care and FFN providers and enhancing the quality of care they offer.

Register today for our second call, Lessons Learned: Supporting Family, Friend and Neighbor Care & Family Child Care in Washington State.

The conference call will take place on Thursday, June 18, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.

Presenters for this call will include:

• Helen Blank, Director of Leadership and Public Policy, National Women's Law Center
• Karen Hart, Early Learning Division Director, SEIU Local 925
• Nancy Ashley, Owner, Heliotrope Consulting Firm
