 Hello, my name is Alisa Takiyuchi and I am an ESL teacher at Garden Grove Adult Education. My experience with D-LAC helped transform our agency into a more efficient, cost-effective, strength-leading school. I applied to D-LAC with my director, Melissa Patterson, and I can't recommend it enough. At the time, she was a new director in adult education, and although it was a lot of work, what we got out of this experience far outweighs the time spent in the past two years. We needed and wanted to do many things at our school, and the ideal 101 course guided us to focus on our priorities and make the most of our time by creating a strategic plan. The most amazing thing that was a direct result of D-LAC was that we remarketed our brand and saved over $30,000 to use in other areas of need. We bought new laptops for all teachers, owl 360 cameras, and a beautiful marquee. D-LAC helped us to succeed at becoming a better agency. Thank you.
