“Abre is rooted in a culture of open connection, which is reflected in our name: Abre in Spanish means open,” said Zach Vander Veen, Chief Innovation Officer and Co-Founder of Abre. “CALSA’s work to grow and support Latino educational leaders across California is a natural fit with what we’re doing at Abre. We’re both helping education communities make better decisions with their data and building stronger communication and connections between everyone involved. We’re excited to partner with CALSA and provide tools that help their leaders surface the insights they need to make an even bigger impact.”
