In a significant move aimed at enhancing student support across the nation, Communities In Schools® (CIS®) has appointed M. Angel Flores, CSPG, as its new Vice President of Advancement. This leadership change comes at a critical time as CIS approaches 50 years of service in the realm of public education, seeking to expand its impact and resources for millions of students, particularly those in Title I schools.
Drawing on over two decades of rich experience in the philanthropic sector, Flores is set to spearhead the organization's fundraising strategies. Her extensive background includes successful campaigns that have raised funds ranging from $20 million to an impressive $4 billion.

I am honored to join Rey Saldaña and Communities In Schools' incredible leadership team in furthering the movement started by Bill Milliken nearly 50 years ago to fundamentally change and improve public education across the U.S."
