Many of our volunteers had long careers as educators – from elementary classrooms to college auditoriums. We are fortunate to work with librarians, school counselors, professors, administrators and more. Their work in education has shaped their knowledge of the community and helped us to develop quality programming and experiences for our visitors. Thank you to all the wonderful educators in our community and beyond! Welcoming New CSPM Board Members Join us in welcoming two new CSPM Board Members -- Melissa Bernal and Amy Kohout.
