The PowerPoint above explains how investing in early childhood development pays
serious dividends now and well into the future-for kids, for families, for companies
and communities, and for Georgia.

This presentation was presented on February 23 as part of the 2010 Children’s Policy
Watch at the Capitol - 6th Annual Legislative Breakfast. The breakfast, co-sponsored
by GA-CAN and Voices for Georgia’s Children brought together more than 130 elected
officials and child advocates from across Georgia to focus on a specific children’s issue
and to build joint commitment to improving results.

The keynote speaker was Philip A. Peterson, Sr. Vice President, Aon Consulting and a
member of the Advisory Board for Partnership for America’s Success.

A highlight of the breakfast was the inspiring Call To Action delivered by Dr. Beverly Tatum
President of Spelman College and Co-Chair of the Early Education Commission.

Equally well received were the remarks delivered by State Representative Penny Houston,
Chair of the House Appropriations Human Services Subcommittee and Mindy Binderman,
Voices’ Director of Government Affairs and Advocacy.
