Powerful @philanthropynw board meeting. Our goals are set for 2023. Touching and motivating presentation by Jeffrey Robinson and his @Who_We_Are_19 project. Honored to serve on the PNW board.

So fortunate to work with an incredible group of trustees that are focused on educational equity. @CollegeSparkWA Trustee @erinjonesin2016 was just awarded for her inspiring service to the community @GreenRiverCC with @GRCPresJohnson

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

Such a joy to attend this wonderful SBCTC event. Honoring Jan Yoshiwara's service, while noting the historical arc of leadership leading to Paul Francis' new appointment.

Support for educators of color doesn’t stop at recruitment. Districts must help new teachers with strong educator programs that help them make inroads, explains @HowardU’s Dr. Katherine E. L. Norris. https://t.co/7oj83RG5av

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

Great day to hear students’ stories of perseverance and success. Wonderful connecting with community and technical college trustees and presidents like @LWTechPrez. CSW Trustee @erinjonesin2016 provided the keynote that inspired all. Thanks @SBCTCWashington

[Amy Morrison, Ed.D. @LWTechPrez]

It was a joy to join former CSW Trustee, Dr. Jean Hernandez, as CSW presented the Trustee Discretionary grant to @EdmondsCollege to support the work of their MESA Student Center.

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

Thank you @edvoters for inviting @CollegeSparkWA to co-facilitate today’s webinar on the draft @WAPESB cultural competency equity diversity & inclusion standards.

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

A very engaging conference. Pleased that CSW participated in two presentations, including sharing the stage with Jeremiah and Rachel Sims’ Rooted In Love https://t.co/BCyggGCzF9

In order to get to radical integrity, we must arrive at radical humility. Radical humility necessitates the daily dying of the cowardly self so that the courageous self can live, and love -- without fear.

Congratulations to @SBCTCWashington for your on-going dedication towards improving student outcomes through Guided Pathways. Over the past week, it has been an honor to visit and hand-deliver Guided Pathways grant checks to @tacomacc @RentonTech @SouthSeattleCC @CloverParkTech

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

@CollegeSparkWA sends most of our grant checks via USPS. Thus, it is such honor to hand-deliver a check and hear from grantees about their successes and lessons learned. Great work to the team @shorelinecc for their co-requisite math program.

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

@CollegeSparkWA Board Chair Dr. Richardson (left side) joined me in travels across Spokane to meet with various partners. It was a pleasure to hear about the great work of @SuptSwinyard and the team at @spokaneschools

[Dr. Warren Brown @CollegeSprkExec]

Such an honor to travel to Wenatchee and acknowledge @CollegeSparkWA Trustee Jesus Hernandez. When successfully completing their trustee appointment, CSW Trustees designate a charity for a CSW grant. Jesus identified the Melissa Hernandez Inspiration Fund, read about it: @cfncw
