Message from Joel Gordon, PresidentThe Governor’s Proposed Budget Threatens to Devastate Campus Child Care/Lab Schools ! What CCCECE is doing about it.
If you’ve been following the release of the governor’s proposed budget for 2012-13 and beyond you know it is by far the biggest threat we’ve faced in regards to child development centers and lab schools on our campuses. I want you to know that CCCECE is aware of this problem and will be working diligently in the coming weeks to coordinate efforts with other programs and agencies to significantly change this portion of his proposed budget.
There is much to be concerned about in the child care portion of the budget and very little of it is worth our support but I want to focus on those things that will most directly impact the community colleges.

IN HONOR OF A TRUE LEADER: Kathi Cliff“Now is the time to lead! And you are the one to lead us!” This is the message that I received from Kathi Cliff two years ago. I immediately looked over my shoulder to see if someone else was in the room and asked her … “Are you talkin’ to me?” Even though I had held leadership roles in various organizations, I did not recognize the certitude with which she peered into my soul and called me to action. In this article I will be celebrating the accomplishments of one special leader, and as I do I hope to inspire a new wave of leadership and activism in all of us. Perhaps it is the energy from the Occupy Wall Street rally’s in dozens of countries, or the hope that is so visible in the faces of the people on the streets in Libya as they form their new government, but I feel like it is time for all of us to jump on our surf boards and ride the big wave of activism that is cresting across the planet.
