“Dialogue…is about a shared inquiry, a way of thinking and reflecting together. It is not something you do to another person. It is something you do with people. Indeed, a large part of learning this has to do with learning to shift your attitudes about relationships with others, so that we gradually give up the effort to make them understand us, and come to a greater understanding of ourselves and each other. “
William Isaacs

The 2012 National Dialogue Not the first time Ongoing topic from the inception of NAEYC Frequently emerges* Emphasis on fiscal and legal structure Attention to the “Issue Relationship” –
typically overlooked

The timing makes senseo 10 year anniversary of re-affiliation
Vision 2015 Organizational focus on continuous cycle of
improvemento Right time to examine the relationship between
NAEYC and Affiliates Emerging trends among affiliates Dynamic changes in ECE Impact of shifting economic, political and social
climates

Dramatic shift initiated in the relationship between NAEYC and Affiliates 10 years ago◦ Re-affiliation (version 3) cemented and formalized
a structural and legal relationship Increased accountability Legal documents signed (charter agreements) Non profit business practices Emphasis intentionally placed on states*

Shift to state focus has left many local leaders feeling disconnected. Many report feeling “as if we’ve lost our voice.”
Attention to non-profit practices has left many state affiliates increasingly distanced from association work
Affiliates report not having enough input at the national level – “feel disconnected from the Board.”
Elevated Expectations (by NAEYC) without increase in resources, leaving many affiliates feeling unsupported in their efforts to achieve expected results.

Affiliate structure not sufficiently customized to local communities
Affiliates appreciate heavy emphasis on business practices but report it dominates their energy, time, and resources – eliminating the passion of many to participate in leadership roles
State affiliates reinvesting time and resources in local affiliate relationships
Some local affiliates dissolving

2010 presents a different context◦ Changing context for ECE◦ Unique & complex state dynamics◦ Economy◦ Competition for time and commitment
Stagnant economy undermining nonprofit activities and contracts initiated by state affiliates in response to NAEYC expectations to create diversified funding

I would like to see an action plan that unites the affiliates and national - something that we can all get behind and work toward. It should be that "impossible dream" that Stephanie Fanjul writes about…. it needs a focus that comes from within.

Power in organizations is the capacity generated by relationship. What gives
power its charge – positive or negative – is the quality of the relationship.

Honor and Respect Those Who Went Before, In the Present and the Future.
Be Respectful, Honest, and Truthful Enough to Allow us to Grow Into the Future.
A group exercise during Leadership Day produced additional suggestions for these principles. A revised set of principles will be developed and distributed in response to this input as we move this work forward. Added 12.2010, G. Simmons, NAEYC.
