Board Meeting • September 15 th
The CABE Board met at CABE Headquarters in Walnut, CA to take time to review, refresh, and renew the CABE Strategic Plan.

Some of the retreat outcomes included: deepening relational trust, collaborating to set the vision and direction of the Strategic Plan and understanding its connection to new CA policies on multilingual education, and committing to CABE's new vision, mission, values, theory of action, goals and direction.

At the end of three busy, but rewarding days, the CABE Board, Strategic Plan Consultants and other CABE friends celebrated with Mexican flair at dinner on the patio, while enjoying the lively music of a talented Mariachi band.

CABE Team Members "Promoted" to  Captains on the Queen Mary
at August Staff Retreat
In August, the CABE Team met for two days at the Queen Mary (now a hotel/museum/visitor center) in Long Beach for the annual staff retreat.

It was time spent relaxing, reconnecting with each other, reviewing the reasons why we do
this important work, and more.

Some brave team members elected to tour the spooky places on the ship where sightings of ghostly visitors have been reported; but, alas, apparently no spirits came out to play that day.

The retreat concluded with a visit to the Long Beach Aquarium next door.
