Region 7’s third General Membership Assembly took place April 16 at the Graffiti USA Classic Car Museum in Modesto. Attendees were treated to an engaging keynote from Naj Alikhan, ACSA senior director of marketing and communications, who shared timely insights on effective messaging in uncertain times with his presentation, “Let’s Be Careful Out There: Communicating in Crisis.”

In addition to the inspiring keynote, the region proudly celebrated student excellence. Four outstanding high school students were awarded $1,000 scholarships. The Region 7 Every Student Succeeding honoree, Zoe Blansett, received $1,000 and will be honored at the ACSA Leadership Summit in November.

Congratulations to the following student scholarship recipients:

Kierstiahnna Howell, daughter of Dr. Ben Howell, Sonora High School. Allison Moring, daughter of Natalie Moring, Hughson High School. Adelyn Persons, daughter of Jeffrey Persons, John H. Pitman High School. Rafael Wood, son of Rebekah Wood, Summerville High School.

Region 7 is incredibly proud of these students and wish them continued success in their academic and future careers.
