Please join us in congratulating the Institute’s recent Fresno County graduates, who earned their CSAC Executive Credential through a 10-month program of learning, growth, and collaboration. Each course was led by an experienced facilitator and designed with practical, real-world application in mind, offering meaningful “take-home” value through adult-centered instruction and shared learning with peers. 

We proudly celebrate these Fresno County graduates and commend them for their commitment, perseverance, and dedication to completing their CSAC Executive Credential.
