CCAE Diamond Jubilee Celebration
CCAE Bay Section
Thank you to everyone who came together to create such a wonderful conference!
CCAE is an organization that is focused on Adult Education and Adult Schools. It is divided into sections. SMAS Assistant Director Eric Saavedra is President of the Bay Section. SMAS Administrative Assistant Stefanie Wright is secretary of the Bay Section.
CCAE Bay Section Conference
The sections have conferences every year. Everyone who cares about Adult Education - teachers, students, staff, administrators - comes together to talk about how to make Adult Ed the best it can be.

| Stephanie Wright and Carlota Zuniga |
Carlota and Stefanie worked with volunteers from SMAS and Fremont Adult school to prepare a delightful breakfast and lunch and decorate the tables in honor of the diamond jubilee.
SMAS Student Volunteers sold #Red4AdultEd t-shirts, buttons, pencils and bumper stickers to carry the message that #AdultEducationMatters.
At breakfast and lunchtime, everyone listened to speakers talk about the history of Adult Education
and the need to advocate - to use our voices - for Adult Education.
Everyone must understand that Adult Education matters. Legislators and the governor must understand that Adult Education needs more money. With more money, Adult Education can help more people in California reach their goals and create a great state.
