45th Anniversary Success!

October 22, 2020

You did it! You showed up and celebrated the 45th anniversary of the CDA® on October 1, 2020. The virtual celebration was an incredible success, and we owe it to you: the wonderful ECE community the Council so proudly serves.

The celebration reminded us of both the past impact of the CDA and its promise for the future of our field. A continuing goal of the CDA program has always been to promote diversity and inclusion, a tradition we honored by including a panel discussion on the challenges that men face as a minority in ECE.

We were intrigued by your input and excited that many of you stayed until the very end and enjoyed dancing and partying with us. We saw your dance moves on our social platforms. Thank you for sharing!

As members of our ECE community, you play a starring role in making the future bright for the CDA. We’re grateful to the thousands of you who showed your support by registering for the event. We also give credit to the many more of you who make our credential such a success.

If you couldn’t attend, we invite you to listen to a recording of the event. Feel free to share it with your colleagues, and don’t forget to catch to a surprise celebratory message from NBC’s Craig Melvin. As a parent of two young children, he recognizes your commitment to our youngest learners. Finally, if you’re looking to add some music to your playlist, tune into an audio recording of the dance party deejayed by Miss H.E.R.

Enjoy and thank you for being the best part of the CDA!
