Congratulations to CCUSD’s Rebecca Williams, who was recognized with the Outstanding Leadership in Education Award at the California Association of African American Superintendents & Administrators (CAAASA) Statewide Professional Development Summit in Anaheim.
Williams, the Senior Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, was the only executive assistant to receive the honor, which recognized her “advocacy, dedication and commitment to excellence in education on behalf of California’s students.”
Presented by CAAASA and the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA), the award recognized Williams’ 20 years with CCUSD.
“This was my first job in the educational field,” she said. “It was perfect timing as my son was starting kindergarten. It’s been a great journey working for CCUSD, where I’ve learned so much about education. I look forward to continuing to serve our students, families, and the community.”
CAAASA was reorganized and renamed in 2007. When it was originally founded in 1993, it was called the California Association of African American Superintendents. The new leadership petitioned the organization to change its focus to include both superintendents and administrators allowing emerging leaders in administration the opportunity to better prepare for the superintendency or other high level administrative assignments.
Serving as an informative link to California Department of Education (CDE), CAAASA makes recommendations on topics to include curriculum and instruction, staff development, parent involvement, funding and gender specific issues.
