**Finally**
Since becoming president of CAWEE, I’ve realized that my original timeline was a bit ambitious. What I hoped to accomplish in six months actually took closer to eleven. But I’m proud to say, we’ve made real progress:
* We launched a brand-new website—one that’s easier to edit and more cost-effective to maintain.
* We overhauled the certification test, streamlining the process and updating the content to be more relevant. It’s now easier to modify and expand, giving us the flexibility to grow.
* We added a few new board members (and we’re still looking for more—being involved isn’t hard or time-consuming!) and improved our communication within the board.
* And, excitingly, we’re bringing the CAWEE Conference back to Sacramento! Mark your calendars: October 9–10. Even if you’re not planning to attend, sign up for updates. The event will feature a variety of presentations, opportunities to connect with fellow educators, and the chance to leave with a certification.
As we celebrate our 60th anniversary (yes, I didn’t realize it either!), I’m truly excited for what’s ahead. Our mission remains strong: to support teachers, guide education in California, and ensure student safety and meaningful experiences.
Sincerely,
Tim Riche’
CAWEE President 2025-2026
