Good day to all my brothers and sisters of CESPA. I Have been a member of CESPA for 20 years,

seen and done all the jobs except Secretary and treasurer. I've also had some upsets and downs. I have been an advocate for all members of CESPA against the administration, Contract Bargaining raises, and a sounding board for those who just need someone they need to talk to. The district has changed in many ways, as well as much of the support staff. Myself and the Board of Directors have made many decisions to keep CESPA in the forefront to let the District know we are here and and well represented.

I say all this to say that "I WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!" I will be around for 1 year from March 1st to help the next PRESIDENT to be successful. There are some young person out there that will do just fine taking over. Rest assured, CESPA is in good hands. Good luck to the next President.
