What an honor to work with a National Board of Directors who sees the importance of relationship building that is nationally relevant but locally focused and led @CISNational

⁦@CISNational⁩ does such important work in so many of our nation’s HS- their impact drives up graduation rates, and increases student attendance for students who have a history of chronic absenteeism. Relationships change lives. So appreciate Ray Saldana’s leadership!

Today we honor the memory of Rosalynn Carter. It was First Lady Carter who saw the need for CIS, recognized our work, and propelled us forward to where we are today. We are eternally grateful for her advocacy for educational equity and countless humanitarian efforts worldwide.

Black, brown & indigenous student’s potential & value can be lost if we do not acknowledge the representation gaps that exist on some of our most competitive college campuses. I count myself as one of them. I don’t believe I would be leading @CISNational if I had not been…
