Confused About How Tax Policy Relates to Quality Early Care and Education?

You will hear from three experts in the field:

Louise has worked for more than two dozen national organizations including the National Conference of State Legislatures, National Governors Association, National Association of Counties, Education Commission of the States, the United Way, the Committee for Economic Development and the American Enterprise Institute.

 Louise Stoney will provide a brief overview of tax benefits, how they are currently used in early care and education, and how they might be used in future policy.
