Announcing Exchange Master Leaders

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
Nelson Mandela

Exchange Magazine's November 2015 issue features Master Leaders in the field of early care and education: 49 Exceptional Master Leaders and 38 Master Leaders are pictured and their stories told in the cover feature of that issue. These leaders were selected from among many applicants by a review panel consisting of 42 highly respected and experienced leaders in our field. You can read the stories of those selected and view a gallery of all the reviewers at www.ChildCareExchange.com/leadership.

The criteria used to evaluate candidates for Master Leaders were:

Leadership: Experienced professionals who have proven themselves able leaders in their organization, and who are taking leadership in building the profession and advocating for children and families.

Roles: Organization managers, advocates, trainers, writers, researchers, counselors, public officials, policy makers — anyone who has an impactful career trajectory serving young children, families, and early childhood professionals.

Knowledge Base: Professionals who show a deep understanding of early childhood research, principles, and practices, including addressing diversity and equity.

Spirit: Professionals demonstrating the ability to work collaboratively, to build networks around key issues, and to demonstrate perseverance in pursuing difficult objectives.
