Yesterday, my Office Ambassador Paulette Chaffee attended Cal State Fullerton (CSUF) School of Nursing 50 years breakfast celebration.
The event showcased all the programs that CSUF has established for nursing students.
As CalOptima Health Director, I established a stipend program to increase the number of students in the jumpstart and concurrent enrollment program. The 5 million dollar grant to the CSUF School of Nursing will help decrease the nursing shortage here in Orange County and help more students finish their schooling without worrying about possible financial burden.
Congratulations to the CSUF Nursing school on reaching this impressive milestone and their successful programs.

#TeamChaffee participated in the annual Kid Builders event in partnership with First 5 Orange County, La Habra’s Little Learners, La Habra Collaborative, and PNC Bank.
We know that while every child develops at their own rate, there are important milestones that children reach in how they play, learn, speak, act and move. 🚼
Since parents are their children’s first teacher and playmate, First 5 OC worked with a team of experts to create the Kid Builder activities. KidBuilders are free, fun and easy activities that parents can do with their young kids to help them grow and learn.🧑🧒🧒
For more information on these free activities please visit: first5oc.org/kid-builders/

On Friday, I joined the California Counties Human Resources (CCHR) meeting with representatives from Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties, along with our own Orange County Chief Human Resources Officer Colette Farnes and her team.
CCHR provides a forum where personnel administrators in various counties can come together to discuss various problems, experiences and formulate program improvements.
It was great to meet the group and thank them for all the work they do amidst challenges they face.

Last Friday, I had the honor of attending the Roar Cultural Festival on its 11th annual Korean cultural celebration. 🎉
It was great event with attendees able to visit and partake in a variety of entertainment, music, dance, art, food, and fun.
I was happy to present Daroo Korean Performing Arts and Culture with a certificate recognizing their commitment to fostering cross-cultural appreciation.
This festival is a reminder of why celebrations like these are so important, as they uplift, empower, and strengthen our communities.
