<p class="x_MsoNormal">I think it only went to Sophia. I think this is a wonderful and much needed conversation. I will ensure that you have space to discuss at our next DEO meeting. I would also encourage you not to delay the contracting of these two professionals
as we will need a model college in our system to Lead in this endeavor. However I can support you I will. It would also be prudent to get them under contract during this fiscal year so that you don’t have to use funds from next years allocation.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">I hope you're off to an amazing start. I am reaching out in hopes of partnering with other members of the DEOC to bring some training to support undocumented students.
My college has no supports in this area and this was core to our work in California. In my service area there is a huge need to address knowledge gaps and provide resources to employees, students and families. I am also fear with elections quickly approaching
and uncertainty about where the pedulum will swing - this population will be caught in the politics as always. I am partnering with two trainers in this space that have engaged in this work at the local, State and national level. Sandra Guzman is a faculty
member and oversees the LaRaza Center, Undocu-Center and leads Communidad (an employee affinity group) at Sacramento City College. Belinda Lum is also a faculty member and Chief Negotiator for LRCFT labor union. She is also affiliated with the spaces above
and works at Sacramento City College. The professional roles of these two individuals are important as they're able to influence faculty and in particular those union centric faculty members. </span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black">I am curious if this can be an agenda item for discussion to determine the need in this space across the system and a potential collaboration. I was planning on going
into contract over the next few weeks, but could hold off if we think there is value to engage the commission. This could serve as an example of the value to collective efforts and I believe there is an opportunity to include the Multicultural Commission.
I also Cc's Sophia as there may be resources avaibale to support a broader effort. </span></p>
