âThese wins further expand ICFâs role working with at-risk children and families, also allowing us to specifically work with the American Indian/Alaska Native communities throughout the United States, â remarked ICF senior vice president and early education expert, Barbara Rudin. âThrough our work in the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, Pacific Northwest, and American Indian/Alaska Native regions, we run the gamut of large inner city grantees to remote rural programs. This provides us the opportunity to hone our skills and understanding of the program constituents and ensure that we are providing best practices wherever we work with Head Start grantees.â
