Alex Gaytan serves as Head Start WEST’s Office Manager & Finance Coordinator, supporting the Association’s day-to-day operations, bookkeeping, registration, billing, and member services.
Alex brings a strong background in accounting and small business to her work with Head Start WEST. She attended California State University, Stanislaus and spent five years working with a CPA firm in Stockton before going on to own and operate her own accounting and bookkeeping business. Her experience gives her a thoughtful and detail-oriented approach to the many moving pieces that keep an organization running behind the scenes.
Alex also has a personal connection to the work of Head Start. She is a Head Start alumna herself, and all three of her children attended Head Start. Her firsthand experience with the program gives her a unique perspective on the importance of the work our members do every day to support children and families.
In her role at Head Start WEST, Alex is often one of the first points of contact for questions about registration, billing, and membership. She brings a practical, welcoming approach to helping members navigate those details and is an important part of keeping the Association running smoothly.
I have been to management workshops, not leadership training. This has totally changed my perspective and encouraged me to propel forward in developing my skills.
I am honored and humbled to be a recipient of the Head Start WEST’s Legacy Scholarship. The scholarship helped me get one step closer to achieving my goal of becoming a Head Start Director.
I took part in The disproportionate impact of COVID 19, and how to provide “real” support for black/brown children and families and I just want to say this was an amazing webinar. I hope we can look forward to further conversation on this topic.
Thank you so much for making events like this! I really enjoyed and learned so much teaching strategies to implement STEM in the classroom.
The HR Network was an excellent opportunity to network and learn the best practices from other HR professionals within Head Start programs. You will be amazed by the level of talent and experience of the participants.
The Summer Camp training was powerful and inspiring! Each presenter was very engaging, it’s hard to even pick a favorite session!
The Leadership Challenge training was very relevant to my work as a Head Start leader! Great facilitation; stayed with the program yet allowed time for individual and small group reflections.
