As he’s progressed throughout his career to date, Raymon has established himself as a leader in social services, and demonstrated his deep commitment to public affairs through roles such as the CEO of Community Bridges. Raymon has also epitomized PACE’s core values, including equity, social justice, civic engagement and accountability, through his civic engagement work, such as with the Economic Justice Alliance and Positive Discipline Community Resources. is work and commitment will inspire current students and graduates of PACE programs how to put the values we teach in the classroom into action in their careers and throughout their life.
