Dear ACSA Region 8 Leaders,

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your President for the 2025–2026 year. I’m excited to build on the strong foundation laid by our past leaders and to work alongside you as we pursue continued growth, innovation, and impact.

This is a pivotal time in public education. While we’ve navigated many challenges over the past year—and undoubtedly face more ahead—our collective leadership, resilience, and commitment to students remain essential. Let’s continue to stay engaged, informed, and inspired as we advocate for our schools and communities.

This year, I invite each of you to get involved, share your voice, and help shape the future of ACSA Region 8. Our strength lies in our collaboration, and I look forward to supporting your leadership journey as we grow together—both individually and as an organization.

Thank you to those of you that I connected with at our Awards Dinner in April. I hope that I continue to meet many more of you throughout the coming year at our local events and at ACSA Leadership Summit this November.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any ideas, questions, or concerns. I’m here to listen, learn, and lead with you.

With gratitude,

Lisa Katimbang

President

ACSA Region 8
