Help Me Grow National
Virtual Forum
December 10, 2024
The HMG National Forum is an exciting opportunity for HMG affiliates and their partners to network, learn from one another, and develop new and supportive connections across the HMG community.
Each year, the Forum provides powerful national visibility of the HMG Network’s efforts and accomplishments, highlights promising ideas and innovations, and builds our collective capacity to make change for families with young children.
Now in its 15th year, the 2024 HMG National Forum will be a one-day fully virtual offering, allowing early childhood professionals from across the country to highlight and learn about strategies, enhancements, ideas, and Model implementation approaches that advance HMG.
We look forward to coming back together in-person at
the 2025 Forum in Connecticut in summer 2025.
