Children aren’t just our future – they’re also our present. That’s why SMPR President Heidi Otway sat down to talk with Children’s Forum President and CEO Erin Smeltzer, an advocate for quality early childhood education for young students across the country.
Inspired by her mother’s impact as the first female first responder in her county, Erin knew she wanted to make a life-long difference in her community. But it wasn’t until she discovered her passion for public policy and early learning that she found she could advocate for childhood education. After starting her career as a preschool educator, she quickly emerged as a passionate and successful leader in her field. Now, Erin has worked to advance educational opportunities for Florida’s youngest for over a decade.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about finding your passion, the power of leadership, and the importance of early learning!
