Dear Conference Participant,

Welcome to the Second Annual Illinois Early Childhood Conference. We sincerely hope your conference experience is a pleasant and productive one.

This conference represents the combined efforts of a number of interested organizations and agencies. Its co?sponsors had previously held separate, annual conferences. In order to address mutually shared issues and goals and to promote networking and collaboration among their various early childhood constituencies, the groups combined efforts to plan and conduct a single, joint statewide conference beginning with the First Annual Conference in 1991. Under the banner "Sharing a Vision", conference planners intend to focus each year on a particular element of their shared vision for early childhood education in Illinois.

The response to the first conference was tremendous: over fifteen hundred persons participated in nearly two hundred concurrent sessions, poster sessions, commercial exhibits and presentations by state and nationally prominent early childhood educators.

This year's conference promises to be even bigger and better-inclucling changes which were based on your comments last year as well as an exciting new location in downtown Chicago, and the efforts of committee members and other volunteers.

Enjoy the conference and plan to join us again in 1993.

Sincerely,

Conference Steering Committee
