Dear Conference Participants,
It is with a heavy heart that we are writing to inform you that one of our presenters, Heather Hall, PHD, was killed in the trolley accident.
Heather was a dedicated professional committed to early childhood and special education. She was a mom of 2 children.
Please keep her family, friends, and academic colleagues in your thoughts and prayers.
If anyone knows if Heather was with anyone else from the conference when she was out and on the trolley, please let us know.
Heather Lynn Hall leaves behind a legacy of love, courage, inclusion and joy,” a statement from her family read, in part. “May we honor her by living as she did — with curiosity, compassion, and open hearts.”
