- Lots of contract work
- New PDs and ways to engage in contracts - creating new workshops
- New relationships
- Considering effects of Supt. King's transition and the new Board

- Balancing ACF - statewide work and Center work
- Physical space on UCLA's campus

On the Horizon
- Expansion outside So Cal throughout state
-Creating new workshops, approaches, etc
