By Alice Clement
My name is Alice Clement, and I will be your interim Executive Director from the California Teachers Association for about the next six weeks until a new executive director is chosen and is able to come on board.
I retired from CTA last February after serving 17 years in the Alhambra Garvey Uniserv of CTA.
As every year has provided new challenges, this one will be no different. We face a crisis in state finance, with a projected 14 billion dollar shortfall. Each of you has challenges in your classroom and assignment. I look forward to working with you and your leadership in the weeks ahead to make the transition as smooth as possible.
