This month, the Council's Senior Manager, Vilma Williams, was asked to present at the quarterly Tennessee Early Childhood Training Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. Vilma spoke to an audience of mentors, instructors and coordinators about the forthcoming CDA 2.0 transition and the role of the new Professional Development Specialist. She said the presentations were met with a warm, positive response from the audience, who thanked her for answering their questions and relieving some of their anxiety about the transition.

Vilma also had a chance to experience some true southern hospitality during her visit to Nashville. She said she enjoyed the people, food and the shopping in the Country Music Capital of the World and looks forward to going back!
