Welcome from Delta Sierra
AMREEK SINGH, Section President
Greetings from Delta-Sierra Section!!!
Delta-Sierra Section (DSS) held its 2011-2012 planning meeting on May 3, 2011 and a host of ideas were discussed and explored.
We are excited to have new faces and ideas for 2011-2012 and to have such talented and experienced people in our Section. Laurie Pence from Robla School District was unanimously elected as President Elect, “Congratulations Laurie.” Kathleen Egbert from Yolo County will assume treasure responsibilities while Grace Espindola was elected as secretary and will also serve as the CASCWA State Board Vice President. We are also excited about having Jane Claar and Tracey Wiltshire from Twin Rivers join us this year.
Moreover, Joe Taylor and Tad Kitada, two seasoned and well respected members of CASCWA retired from their respective county and district positions and have agreed to continue to support the Delta-Sierra Section of CASCWA. Their expertise and knowledge is invaluable and we really appreciate their input and guidance.
We are proud to announce that Jon Alvarez and Morgan Myers are the recipients of the Richard C. Davis and Legal Books Scholarships. These two students received $1,000 each from our DSS to pursue their post secondary education and members of our DSS personally attended their graduation ceremonies and presented them their awards.
Finally, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the hard work of our outgoing President Hector Molina. Our section grew a lot under Hector’s leadership and we are in debt to him for the great strides we made in the 2010-2011 school year, “Thanks Hector.” Hector will also continue to support and be actively involved in our section for the upcoming school year.
This is going to be a very exciting year and we hope to do more outreach and get more members actively involved. We will be partnering with our other sections and the state board and look forward to a productive and successful year.
