About Laura McCarty
I deliver high-quality leadership in the early childhood field as a policy and advocacy expert focusing on establishing and fostering meaningful relationships with diverse stakeholders. I excel at finding alliances and common ground among groups with varied perspectives and backgrounds. An experienced field organizer, I create dynamic collaborative coalitions and facilitate systems change through advocacy development and empowering others. I am passionate about building grassroots movements and investing in others working in the education field, the advocates of tomorrow, and future policymakers and influencers. I can see the big picture, think critically about essential components and obstacles, and develop and implement strategic long-term plans that produce high-impact results at all levels of an organization. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk about early childhood education policy, advocacy, and creating change-making movements working together to make the world a better place.
