Panu Lucier, director of Alaska SEED at thread<\/strong>, was recently chosen by the Exchange Leadership Initiative as an outstanding leader providing vision, passion and stability to the field of early childhood education and Alaska\u2019s families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2014, the Exchange Leadership Initiative has been making leadership more visible in the field of early care and education, working to assist in stabilizing families and communities through supportive services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucier joins 400 nationwide Exchange Leaders and was chosen for her advocacy and work around issues affecting Alaska\u2019s children, families, and communities, including wage compensation for early childhood educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe nomination was particularly meaningful because it came from my peers and my association and partnerships with state Registry Directors across the country,\u201d Lucier said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past 20 years, Lucier has advocated for Alaska\u2019s children, families and the early childhood\/school-age workforce in a number of capacities, including as executive director of the Alaska Children\u2019s Trust and Friends of the Alaska Children\u2019s Trust where she helped spread the message of child abuse prevention. She was also a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer, advocating for Alaska Native children and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cServing as a CASA volunteer was an opportunity to glean knowledge and understanding of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and to work with the Tribes who represented their families and children,\u201d Lucier said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucier\u2019s vision for early childhood education is that all families have access to high quality, affordable child care and that early educators are fairly compensated for their hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
