Greetings from your Region 9 President! I’m thrilled to connect with you and celebrate the incredible work happening across our Region. Our theme this year, Inspire, Advocate, Lead, continues to guide our efforts, and I want to give a special shout-out to everyone who joined last month’s co-led social with Merced Charter your energy and engagement make Region 9 stronger and more vibrant.

This year, each charter is committed to growing its membership by 10 new members, while Region 9 provides guidance, models best practices, and expands professional learning opportunities.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let us remember the words of Dolores Huerta: “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” Together, let’s continue to inspire, advocate, and lead!

– Kimberly Lewis
President, Region 9
