Windham Child Care Association (WCCA) has developed a Powerpoint presentation on "The Economic Impact of Vermont's Child Care Industry." Ellen Pratt, WCCA's Business Liaison and Business Liaison for the Vermont Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (VACCRRA), is available to make the 20-minute presentation to diverse audiences such as local Chambers of Commerce, economic developers, Rotary Clubs, Workforce Investment Boards, regional planning commissions, and early childhood education advocates. The presentation is a great way to engage business people, economic developers and planners in discussions about solutions to child care problems in your area and state-wide.

Ms. Pratt has delivered the presentation to a variety of audiences, including the following:

• the Brattleboro Rotary Club
• the Rutland Workforce Investment Board
