Carol Ely joined the National Association for the Education of Young Children in 1961. She served as president for both the New York State affiliate and her local Rochester affiliate. Carol wanted early childhood education students to have the experience of attending the NYSAEYC Annual Conference. She believed the opportunity for students to attend this professional event with colleagues, who share an enthusiasm and commitment to the care and education of young children, to be a critical component of their professional development. In recognition of her support of NYSAEYC and early childhood students her family made a generous donation to implement the Carol K. Ely Student Scholarship Fund. This fund has continued to grow through the generation donations of many of our members, who share Carol’s commitment to AEYC and the support of students in their professional growth.
