Why you should attend
Head Start (HS) and Early Head Start (EHS) are some of the largest federally funded programs. The Head Start Act and the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS) contain pages and pages of guidelines that programs must follow to stay in compliance. The goal is to help you get comfortable with those guidelines.

Based on decades of feedback, we built this online boot camp to blend regulations, best practices and action planning with the opportunity to ask your questions.

Participants declare Wipfli training to be “empowering,” “outstanding,” “meaningful,” “invaluable” and “relevant.”

Who should attend
If you’re new, if you’ve been around a while and want a refresher, if you’re program oriented or if you’re fiscal oriented — this session is for you. There will be something for everyone.

Leaders interested in learning how to apply compliance with current regulations while still meeting the mission.
Those new to leadership in the agency who are now responsible for financial and/or program compliance.
Teams, including the CEO/executive director, fiscal team, program teams, policy council and board/tribal council members.
