Hello,

My name is Tim Riche’.   I am excited to take over as president of CAWEE.   This is my 25th year in education and I have taught everything from Video Production, English to being a Teacher on Special Assignment covering Work Experience.  The last 15 years covering Work Experience for Madera Unified have been some of the most rewarding experiences I have had in education.

CAWEE is changing leadership currently and we are looking for people that would like to engage the future of work related education.   If you share the vision and support our mission statement, please reach out to me on how you can become more involved.  We will utilize you in whatever capacity you are willing to help.

At the heart of our mission statement and our vision, it is about protecting children.  Our state is understanding the value of getting our students experience at greater levels in the workforce; it is more important than ever that we maintain levels of safety for our students. That people are reminded that rules are in place to protect the child and the business the student is going to. 

We must do everything to make sure our students are safe, on campus or off!

This year we are working on doing several mini conferences throughout the state and hopefully getting to put on some larger events next year.  We are also planning on updating our training and we hope to build an online place where people can ask questions.  Supporting our educators is what we are about.

Thanks so much for your interest and I look forward to meeting you. 

Sincerely,

Tim Riche’

CAWEE President 2024-2025
