The 2009 Governor's Education Summit™ announces that Kati Haycock will be the featured luncheon speaker on April 28, 2009.

Kati Haycock is one of the nation's leading child advocates in the field of education. She currently serves as President of the Education Trust. Established in 1992, the Trust does what no other Washington-based education organization seeks to do - speaks up for what's right for young people - especially those who are poor or members of minority groups.  The Trust also provides hands-on assistance to educators who want to work together to improve student achievement, pre-kindergarten through college.  Prior to coming to the Education
Trust, Haycock served as Executive Vice President of the Children's Defense Fund, the nation's largest child advocacy organization.

Ms. Haycock was recently the featured speaker at the Muskegon Education Forum, where her presentation  "Raising Achievement and Closing Gaps Between Groups:  Lessons From Schools on the Performance Frontier" was highly acclaimed. The 2009 Governor's Education Summit™ is proud to feature Ms. Haycock as an integral part of the Summit™ agenda and message.
  
In addition to Ms. Haycock,  Mike Flanagan, State Superintendent, and Governor Jennifer Granholm will also be featured speakers. To find out more about the Summit program and agenda, please visit the conference website at: www.mfel.org/ges/2009/.
