A message from the president
Dear WACA Community:
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our WACA community and to help us build upon all that we have worked for to support each other over the decades WACA has existed.
As we move into the school year with vigor, depth, energy, love and thinking differently about how to meet student’s needs, I am so excited to be able to think about how WACA and I can meet your needs in order to help your kids. They are living in a world that is vastly different than ours, yet there are many similarities as well. It’s an honor to be able to be a bridge for our kids to help them realize their power and what they can do to serve others wholly and whole-heartedly.
As we prepare for our 2023 WACA Conference and focus on our work through the theme of Cultivating Community, I have a few goals for WACA I want to share with you as well as a few hopes for all of us.
2022 - 2023 WACA Goals
2022 - 2023 WACA Hopes
I wish you the best as we guide our kids, schools and staff through the 2022 - 2023 school year. Cultivating our community takes all of us and I am incredibly grateful for our WACA community.

2022 - 2023 WACA Goals
- Create even more intentionality in our programming to support the diverse needs of our delegates and kids throughout the state
- Keep building perspective through learning more about ourselves and each other so that we can cultivate our communities to be more open, inclusive, encouraging and fun for all
- Push ourselves from comfort to growth so we can model for our kids how to continue to serve others, be more open to all people and to continue to create school cultures where we truly support each other
2022 - 2023 WACA Hopes
- That this year is easier than last
- That the kids and adults can have more consistency in their lives and that we can continue to help guide this in our schools
- That our love for ourselves and each other continues to grow our community and that we are increasingly intentional in all areas of our lives to cultivate the most loving community we can.
I wish you the best as we guide our kids, schools and staff through the 2022 - 2023 school year. Cultivating our community takes all of us and I am incredibly grateful for our WACA community.
