We look forward to collaborating with our consortium districts, Woodland JUSD and Corona-Norco USD, through Project PROMESA.

The Community Engagement Initiative offers a six-part recorded webinar series:

We had a successful and motivating Fall 2021 Virtual Joint Delegate Assembly (JDA) meeting with 28 CABE chapter leaders, board members, and staff from across California! CABE President Dr. Bárbara Flores gave an inspirational keynote about leadership and advocacy. Additionally, Riverside Chapter #06 and Yolo/Woodland Chapter #76 shared best practices, strategies, and activities for engaging chapter members and local communities.

Thanks to all who participated, and we invite all chapter leaders to join us in person at JDA during CABE 2022 in San Francisco and in May at the Spring 2022 Virtual JDA. More info to come...
