“I had an awesome experience at the conference, which was

very informative and enhanced my knowledge base.”

“This was a great conference! Totally worth the time and

travel. I rarely attend events at which I get so much

valuable, usable information (and I attend a lot of

conferences). Bravo!”

“Great convening on all counts. I made some great

connections at this conference.”

Dr. Nadine Burke-Harris was a keynote speaker at GLR Week

2018. Last January, Governor Gavin Newsom appointed her as

California’s �rst Surgeon General.  In a statement, Governor

Newsom said, “Her work will focus on combating the root

causes of serious health conditions — like adverse childhood

experiences and toxic stress — and using the platform of

Surgeon General to reach young families across the state.” 

Plan to be part of this year's high-value, high-octane

Dr. Dana Suskind was a concurrent plenary session speaker at

GLR Week 2018. Kudos to her and the TMW Team for Early

Learning + Public Health at the University of Chicago for

receiving a $3.3 million grant from the PNC Foundation. It will

empower parents with knowledge and skills to enhance their

infants' and toddlers' cognitive development.
