A Message from AEF’s New Executive Director

Greetings!

I am thrilled to join the Alameda Education Foundation as the new Executive Director. With Vicki’s impending retirement, I know I have big shoes to fill, and I appreciate that she has offered a generous overlap period as I learn the numerous facets of AEF’s work. I look forward to meeting with many of our AEF community members, partners and supporters over the coming weeks as I step into this role.

The poetry video is accompanied by an instructional PDF slideshow.

Here’s the list of artists with a description of their video.
