Janet Godwin kicked off Day 3 of the #ACTSummit and it was immediately followed by a great panel featuring some great speakers from The Annie E. Casey Foundation, The University Innovation Alliance, and the @ECMCFoundation. It’s been a great start to day 3!

Your session was filled with good exemplars of good policy taking place to support learners! And @GovTate remarks were a great reminder of why we do this work. I’m proud he’s a past Hunt-Kean Fellow!

Two of the @Hunt_Institute Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows, @GovTate and @RepTerriCollins preparing to speak at the #ACTSummit! I’m looking forward to their remarks.

It’s a packed house at the Welcome Reception for the #ACTSummit!

Things are getting started here at the #ACTSummit! I’m looking forward to hearing from Gov. Hutchinson to kick things off.

See you there!! (you too, @jclantz)
