It is with great excitement that I assume the role of President of CCCAOE for 2008-2009. The leadership over the past years has set a new course and an ambitious agenda, and I hope that the membership agrees that CCCAOE has become a more relevant organization as a result.
With the assistance of our legislative liaison we are engaged in dialogue to help position the organization to provide the best advocacy possible for our students and our programs. Our conferences are developed focusing on the most current themes and issues that confront us and the models of effective practice presented by our peers helps us leverage our scale and provide timely solutions to workforce needs.
Our goals for 2008-2009 include improving information interchange with the field, continuing to enhance collaboration and communication between the Chancellor’s Office, CTE and EWD, and a look at continued planning efforts to sustain our momentum. I look forward to serving and working with you all.
