At the beginning of May, some of the ECS CERRC and ACCORD staff and leadership proudly represented ECS at the 2024 CADTP Spring Conference, where participants explored burnout prevention, stress management strategies, and effective client engagement techniques.
And congratulations to our VP of Programs, Stacie Perez, on her new role as CADTP Board President after ten years as the Certification Board Chair!
Last week, our friends at PNC Bank visited our San Ysidro Head Start as part of their Grow Up Great initiative, marking 20 years of building brighter futures.
During their visit, they donated school supplies, bilingual books, and gift cards for staff to use at Lakeshore Learning Materials.
As proud partners of PNC Grow Up Great, ECS is grateful for the invaluable support from PNC Bank employees, whose volunteering efforts and resource contributions directly benefit the children, educators, and families within our early childhood education centers.
ECS Central East Regional Recovery Center (CERRC) recently attended the East County Resource Fair, organized by the County of San Diego’s Probation Department. The event showcased over 60 organizations dedicated to providing crucial services to individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.
A significant moment was when Supervisor Joel Anderson presented CERRC with a certificate of recognition, acknowledging their contributions to education and resource provisions in the region.
Congratulations, CERRC, on this well-deserved recognition!

SAN DIEGO — Building the leaders of tomorrow starts today. ECS CEO Elizabeth (Fitzsimons) Wilberg had the opportunity to be a part of that legacy at Academy of Our Lady of Peace’s (OLP) eighth annual BeYOUtiful Conference.
ECS is proud of Wilberg for delivering an inspiring keynote speech. April 2024.
OLP’s BeYOUtiful Conference is a day dedicated to empowering young girls and strengthening their leadership skills. This year, over 200 girls from second to seventh grade registered for the event.
Wilberg was invited to be the keynote speaker at the opening ceremony of the conference. She embraced BeYOUtiful Magazine’s 2024 theme “The Sky’s the Limit” and shared the power of possibility with the girls in attendance. Her address encouraged the blossoming leaders to believe in themselves and their potential.
“Raise your hand means step up, speak up … and take up the space that is rightfully yours in this world,” said Elizabeth.
OLP’s BeYOUtiful conference allows young girls to build their leadership skills and interact with community leaders like Wilberg. April 2024.
Inspired by her words, the girls shared their commitment to “raise their hands” to empower themselves and others.
After Wilberg’s speech, the girls engaged in workshops focused on empowerment, leadership, and possibility, and crafts and games.
BeYOUtiful Magazine works to inspire young women with the stories of other women leaders in their community, like Wilberg. ECS is proud to see our CEO building young leaders up with vulnerability and encouragement.
