New Board Members
We would like to highlight our three newest board members. We extend a most warm and enthusiastic welcome to our new members:
Intisar Shareef, EdD
Intisar Shareef, EdD has dedicated her life to teaching adults to work with children. She is the chair of Contra Costa College's Early Childhood Education Department in Martinez, CA and is on the faculty of WestEd's Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC). Dr. Shareef has trained Head Start staff, preschool teachers, childcare providers, parents and foster parents in the field of early childhood education for over 30 years. She comments, "I actually saw Dr. Pikler when she made a rare visit to the United States in 1979 to conduct a presentation. I never realized that my career would come full-circle and that I would one day be teaching her principles to others."
