Dear Friends:

CaliforniaALL is the result of a gap in the diversity efforts by the legal and

financial services professions. There was a huge need for an overarching

entity that would break down the silos of many different organizations and

individuals doing diversity educational pipeline work. This entity would find

best practices and bring stakeholders together to build coalitions for

sharing resources and creating innovative models to build extended

educational pipelines. Thus, the birth of CaliforniaALL.

CaliforniaALL's journey since its inception on a napkin in April 2007 has

been very gratifying for me. Since then, a firm foundation has been put in

place with a committed and engaged board. Many of you have been

instrumental in helping us to fulfill our vision and mission for California's

students. I thank all of you for the inspiration and encouragement in

building this new organization.

It is time for me to pass the gavel to the next leader to take CaliforniaALL to

the next level. The work of enhancing the success of our students from pre-

school to the professions will continue. It will take all of us in collaboration

to deliver a workforce and leadership that is competent, successful and

diverse. CaliforniaALL lives on.

Warm regards,

Ruthe C. Ashley

Founding President/CEO, CaliforniaALL
