Led by a Director and volunteer Executive Committee, the Arizona Head Start Association (AZHSA) was created to empower the coalition of organizations that provide Head Start programs. AZHSA is the driving force behind Head Start's statewide initiatives across organizational, governmental, and community levels. Focused on advocacy, collaboration, and education, we strengthen and enhance the work of our member agencies and partners through four comprehensive committees. Whether developing agreements with key partners, collaborating on critical issues, driving program excellence, or promoting professional development, these committees keep AZHSA at the forefront of statewide leadership.
