Why 

In collaboration with DE&C Consulting, Filling Every Slot with Urgency and Compassion is a two-week, four-part webinar series rooted in the belief that successful enrollment goes beyond meeting goals—it is about building trust, fairness, and meaningful connections with families from the very start. Dr. Desiree Del-Zio and Dr. Andre Walker will highlight the critical role of enrollment as the gateway to long-term family engagement, partnership, and success. With a focus on family retention and male engagement, participants will explore strategies to foster relationships, overcome barriers, and create welcoming, supportive environments for a variety of family structures.
