EVENTS

The Kathy Reticker Forum was inaugurated in 2017 with a lively breakfast event at the University of Massachusetts Inn and Conference center. Most of Kathy’s family attended as well as Kathy’s friends and people from the Acre Family Childcare, Concord and Lowell nonprofit, and Concord Children’s Center worlds. The Forum’s original plan was to hold an annual event to bring together these worlds and share topics on early childcare education. After the third annual event, Covid 19 made gathering impossible and the Forum shifted its focus to scholarship programs.

• Screening of "No Small Matter," Thursday, June 6, 2019. This feature-length documentary film addresses the vital question of why, when the importance of quality early care and education is so widely accepted and known, do we continue to fail so many children? 
• Candidates for the 3rd Congressional District, Sunday, June 10, 2018, featuring 11 of the candidates for the 3rd Congressional District in a moderated forum discussing issues facing children and families. ​
• Inaugural Forum, October 27, 2017, featuring keynote speaker Joan Wallace-Benjamin, President and CEO, Ph.D, The Home for Little Wanderers.
