Back in June, the WACAC Executive Board gathered in Los Angeles for a high-energy, 3-day retreat to map out our goals, strategy, and vision for the 2026–2027 year.
From deep dives into policy and professional development to planning our upcoming college fairs and annual conference, our team put in the work to ensure we’re showing up strong for our members and the students we serve.

A huge thank you to our dedicated board members who took time out of their summer to collaborate, innovate, and lead. We look forward to an impactful year, dedicated to advancing our mission and supporting your work.
