A Message From Our President

Dear PCACAC Community:

Each and every one of us chose this profession because we care profoundly about our students — their futures, their opportunities, and their success. But I know it’s not an easy time to do this work. Every day, it seems there’s a new challenge threatening both our profession and the young people we serve.

Please know that you are not alone. PCACAC stands firmly by you — as a community, as a network of advocates, and as a family — ready to support you and your students through whatever comes our way.

We recently held our summer board meeting, a rich and rewarding opportunity to reflect on all we’ve accomplished and to plan for the future. It was a time to celebrate the service of those board members whose terms are ending, and to warmly welcome those who are stepping into leadership roles. The exchange of knowledge, passion, and ideas during this meeting filled us with hope and excitement for what lies ahead in the coming year.

I especially thank Melisa Hypolite as she finishes her term as President and Rosemary Martín Edwards, whose time in the Presidential cycle has ended. I hope that, during the upcoming year, I can continue to build on the great work that you have done.

I extend a warm PCACAC welcome to new professionals who want to connect, grow, and serve alongside us. The first opportunity to do that is through our Summer Institute — please spread the word and encourage new professionals to register!
