CELEBRATING HEAD START HEROES

RIVHSA recognizes the outstanding contributions and achievements of regional individuals, programs, and organizations with the presentation of awards and scholarships in both regional and national categories. RIVHSA’s application process has three distinct phases – local, state, regional, and national! At the conclusion of each phase, the most competitive nominees advance to the next level. Each year, RIVHSA honors its regional recipients at a recognition program typically held in conjunction with our annual conference.

Contact your state association for submission deadlines; RIVHSA only accepts nominations submitted by our state affiliates. For complete program details, download the brochure.
