His foresight and leadership in working with the California Legislature and keeping CASCWA in the loop on all legislation matters was legendary.

Many of the subsequent giants of CASCWA were all mentored or influenced by the work of Lee Lundberg. |

CASCWA State President Evelyn Ocasio 2019-20 |
CASCWA is greatly indebted to Evelyn Ocasio for her exceptional leadership during her term as president.
Evelyn worked her way up through the ranks of the Bay section. She served as the Bay Section president and then rotated through the state executive board to her 2019-20 presidency.
Everything was going smooth and we were looking for a great 2020 CASCWA state conference in San Diego. Then the roof fell down.
Evelyn faced the challenges of being our state president in the time of the coronavirus pandemic. She took on the challenge of statewide school closures, shutting down a state conference, conducting meetings during no travel period and facing the challenges of ending a school year without students in schools.
She did it all and she facilitated a smooth transition to our new 2020-21 president. We thank you Evelyn for your leadership during these difficult times!
