The purpose of MAP is to introduce the Management Systems Wheel and support Head Start Leaders in understanding their new role and how it integrates within the system as a whole. Additionally, it’s a great opportunity to network with professionals in similar roles and take insights back to their leadership team to enhance program implementation.
