Karen Pelletier - Executive Vice President, Worcester Chamber of Commerce

"This is a shared priority, and as such all of us should be part of the solution. Building a quality early education and care system that is affordable and available is not only the right thing to do for our people but also for our economy. We need to address the labor issue in EEC not only for that sector but also for businesses and employers of all sizes." - Karen Pelletier, Executive Vice President, Worcester Chamber of Commerce.

Karen shares reflections on a recent Together for Kids Coalition Solutions Forum on early education and care that brought together community stakeholders to craft the plan our community needs, along with a powerful call to action for community engagement in this priority.
