HAVE YOU HEARD???
Our refreshed member meetings are coming up next week! Member meetings, open to all current and prospective members, are a great chance to connect with new friends and old and to learn about the benefits of Iowa AEYC membership. Together with Iowa AEYC staff, PEG co-chairs, and Governing Board members from your area, we’ll walk through our member benefits, upcoming events, ways to get involved, and have time to answer your questions.
All are welcome to attend these meetings. Our first meeting will take place Thursday, April 10 in Waverly, and we’ll have an additional meeting Saturday, April 12 in Bettendorf. More meetings will be put on the calendar soon in a city near you!
If you’d like to attend one of these free meetings, be sure to RSVP using the links in the Facebook event so we know how many people to expect.
