Speaker:  Art Rolnick is an economist and he previously served at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis as a senior vice president and director of research.  He has been one of the most powerful and credible – but, also, hopeful – advocates for early childhood education.  Art has studied this issue for decades and successfully presented the case for early childhood education in a way that has captured people’s attention by emphasizing that every dollar invested will bring a return. 

Breakfast and the program begin at 7:30 a.m.
