Sharron Harrington, interim executive director of the Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children since March, has been appointed to the position on a permanent, full-time basis.
Harrington, who previously served as VTAEYC’s board president, is deeply knowledgeable about the organization and brings expertise from both teaching and working within Vermont’s early-childhood education system. Prior to working at VTAEYC, Harrington was senior programs manager for southern Vermont at Let’s Grow Kids.
“Sharron’s extensive and varied professional experiences make her a strong candidate to move VTAEYC to the next phase of our growth and development,” said board chair Christina Goodwin. “Sharron’s vision will engage our membership, enhance our programming and continue to support the sustainability of the early-childhood education field in Vermont.”
The Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children advances excellence and equity in early childhood education as the state’s largest membership organization for early-childhood educators and is the state affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
