Dream Big Honoree Spotlight: Kathy Halas

Worthwhile causes often require a champion, and the child care community can ask for none better than Kathy Halas. For more than 20 years, she has led the Child Care Council as a tireless advocate for children, families, and early education and after school professionals.

Thanks to Kathy, child care is much more accessible and affordable, its role in a diverse workforce and healthy economy is recognized by the wider community, and industry professionals are acknowledged as essential educators and role models.

Join us at Dream Big on May 7th to thank and celebrate the leader who "put child care on the map," alongside our other incredible honorees: Westchester Community College and Robert Martin Company. It will be a truly fun cocktail party at Captain Lawrence with interactive activities indoors and out!
