Challenging Times
This fall, CCEF worked with local education
foundation leaders
in San Diego, San Bernardino and eastern Los Angeles, Riverside, and
Orange County
through capacity building trainings. The series of regional
meetings in Southern California is sponsored by DIRECTV.
Two additional trainings will be
held for
local education foundation leaders in western Los Angeles (April 28)
and
Venture/Santa Barbara (April 30). If your
foundation is located in these areas or if you missed the previous
sessions in Southern California and you want to join one of the
two additional trainings, contact CCEF.
