This Week @ City - March 18, 2024
Good Monday Morning,
Thank you to everyone who assisted in our Inaugural Summit/Professional Development Day and our big Investiture Ceremony. It was a great two days which included a variety of leaders in the education community who shared their knowledge and inspired us with their engaging sessions and speeches. I was honored to be surrounded by so many colleagues and friends. Thank you to everyone who attended including members of the LACCD Board of Trustees, Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez, California Community College Chancellor Sonya Christian and presidents and senior leadership from neighboring colleges and LA Mayor Karen Bass. We will be posting media coverage and photos on the website.
