A Special Thank You to Dr. Meltzoff

Dear Friends:

This month marks the conclusion of Dr. Andrew Meltzoff's service on Foundation for Early Learning's Board of Directors. After nine years on our board, Dr. Meltzoff's term ended on January 31, 2010.

Dr. Meltzoff was part of Foundation for Early Learning's founding board of directors. He has consistently served on the program committee and has provided leadership and guidance as the organization has grown and developed over the past decade.

The field of early learning would not be where it is today without Dr. Andy Meltzoff's contributions, research, advocacy and volunteer service. His commitment to early learning has ensured that more children arrive at school ready to succeed. Dr. Meltzoff is an inspiration to us all.

While we will miss his guidance, we will continue to rely on his leadership in the field of brain development and early learning as co-director of the University of Washington Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS). We are grateful that Dr. Meltzoff will remain involved with the Foundation through our Board of Ambassadors.

Warm regards,

Vaughnetta J. Barton, Executive Director
Foundation for Early Learning
