An excerpt:
Representing a five-county region of Northwest Michigan, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians Tribal Chairman Derek Bailey will participate in the 2011 World Forum on Early Care and Education.
The event will be held May 3 through May 6 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
During the World Forum, Bailey will meet with 40-50 Global Leaders to exchange knowledge and experiences about programs that directly improve and enhance care and education of young children.
Bailey was asked to represent the five-county region that includes Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau counties, and to participate in the Global Forum, by a group of organizations that include the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District (TBA-ISD), Rotary Charities, the NorthSky Nonprofit Network, and Mother Goose Time. The five-county region is the region served by the TBA-ISD.
Although Bailey is the Tribal Chairman of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians, he says he will participate in the World Forum as a representative of the five-county community.
