Virginia’s Approach to Prosperity
We cannot deny the fundamental connection between early childhood development and greater economic opportunity. It is a powerful message – and spreading it is crucial. We are engaging the Virginia business community to do just that.
Educating, training and graduating every child in Virginia is the most cost effective means of building a workforce capable of attracting businesses and transforming our economy.
