Dear PACE Members:
We are pleased to announce that your representatives on the PACE Board of Directors have voted unanimously to integrate with the very prestigious and successful Statewide Association, EveryChild California, formerly CCDAA, and to dissolve PACE as an organization.
The life-cycle of PACE has had many successes, and as we look forward to the upcoming chapter of early childhood education in California, we see the incredible benefits of joining EveryChild California.
PACE members will be considered members of EveryChild California beginning July 1, 2019, and will be gifted one-year of membership, to experience the trainings, professional development opportunities, and many benefits of EveryChild California.
Through this transition, you can rely on the same professional and working relationships that you have experienced over the years. Several members of our leadership, who are also current members of EveryChild California, will be joining the leadership and working committees of EveryChild California. You can depend on the same quality of work, continuity of benefits (including insurance programs and supplier discounts) and support.
In addition to the private provider representation and enhanced professional advocacy we will enjoy, there will be increased educational, training, and networking opportunities.
Please join with your PACE leaders in celebrating this major milestone as it provides a tremendous path forward for our continued success.
You will be receiving more information directly from EveryChild California in coming weeks.
Sincerely,
The PACE Board of Directors
Cathy Vaughn, Chair/President
Lynette Ferguson Powe, Secretary
Pat Wilka, Advisory Officer
Dana Hemberger
Sue Houweling
