LEAD Working Towards Solutions

LEAD Working Toward Solutions

The LEAD organization, based at the California State University, San Bernardino, has taken the following steps in order to immediately address the critical educational issues among Latinos:

Apply existing technological networks to bring educational and community leaders together at the local, regional, and national levels.

With input from educational and community leaders, create action items to address these critical issues.

Engage educational and community leaders in discussions focused on the critical education issues affecting Latinos.

Publicize success/achievement of action items by participating educational institutions and community organizations.

Steps toward solutions…

community leaders to plan for regional/national conference

Announce results of conference

Hold follow up meetings with local, regional educational and
community leaders to assess implementation of action items
