A Message From Our President

Dear CAROCP Member,

On behalf of CAROCP, welcome to another year within our statewide community of Career Technical Education (CTE) leaders and advocates.

As President of CAROCP, I’m proud to represent a network of dedicated educators and leaders working across California to advance CTE and expand opportunity for students. Your membership matters: it strengthens our collective voice and helps ensure CAROCP remains a powerful advocate for high-quality, industry-responsive programs that prepare students for success in college, career, and life.

As a member, you have access to:

• Timely legislative and policy updates shaping ROP and CTE programs statewide
• Opportunities to connect and collaborate with peers who share your commitment to student success
• Advocacy tools and resources to help you champion CTE’s value in your own region

Whether you’ve been part of CAROCP for years or you’re just getting started, your engagement makes a difference. We encourage you to stay involved, join us at events and in conversations, and make full use of the resources CAROCP offers.

As we begin the 2026–27 school year, the CAROCP Board of Directors remains committed to strong professional representation and effective advocacy on behalf of our members. Together, we’ll keep advancing a shared vision that elevates CTE and empowers the students we serve.

Thank you for your continued dedication to Career Technical Education and for being an engaged member of CAROCP. We look forward to a year of meaningful impact, together.

Warm regards,

Suzanne P. Smith
President, CAROCP
