Dear CoCEAL Familia,

As I take a moment to reflect on my time with this remarkable coalition, I am filled with immense gratitude for the unwavering support and collaboration we have shared. Together, we have made significant strides in advancing educational opportunities for the Latinx/e community in Colorado, embodying our mission and vision with every initiative we undertake. I cherish the meaningful experiences we’ve created together and looking ahead, I am excited about the changes coming to CoCEAL. I encourage each of you to remain actively involved in our ongoing initiatives and professional development opportunities, as they are essential for fostering growth and inclusivity within our community. Let us stay engaged, support one another, and celebrate the upcoming achievements that await us as CoCEAL continues to flourish and grow.

Serving as your Communications Director for the past 2 1/2 years has been an honor. I have grown a lot through this journey and have been able to build connections with amazing folks throughout our institutions. Thank you for the opportunity and I am excited to still participate in CoCEAL as a member.

Con Amor ❤️,

Marcey Delgado Jaco

Communications Director
