National/Federal Committee of Interest:
NCEP (National Committee on Equal Pay )
-I love this organization because it promotes equality for all genders despite
the reality that even today, women and minorities are still in the red, in comparison
to men working in the same profession (same education).

NCSL (The National Conference of State Legislatures)
I
love this national committee because it is an advocate for early education for
children and it shows awareness of the importance of early intervention.
NCSL supports early care and education and its
benefits, especially in lessening the adverse effects of childhood poverty.

"The field of early childhood education includes
an abundance of organizations that support the professional development of
early childhood teachers and that promote improvements in services to young
children. Teachers become members of one or more of these associations to help
them grow professionally, stay current on early childhood issues, and
participate in group efforts to promote change. Listed below are some
professional associations that are particularly relevant to CDA Candidates and
Child Development Associates. In addition to membership benefits, these
organizations also offer a wide variety of resource materials"(CPR).
