This above link is submitted as an artifact.  It is a link to the Syracuse Affiliate of the New York State Association for the Education of Young Children, part of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Involvement in the local affiliate demonstrates continued commitment as a professional who seeks to  integrate knowledgeable, reflective and critical prespectives within my professional development. I began as a member in 2006, became a board member in 2009 and will serve a two year commitment as president of the local chapter beginning in the fall of 2012. I contend that this artifact is demonstrative of a level IV artifact. Below you may open the attached pdf to view my current NAEYC membership card.

This artifact demonstrates competency as a level IV artifact and is evidence of my commitment as a continuous collaborative learner who demonstrates critical perspectives and actively advocates for high quality practices.
