Sabrina McGraw
President
Sabrina started her legal career clerking for a federal judge and is now a litigator at Covington & Burling LLP.  She found her love for the law when she was in Unit 5 for Amador Valley's 2013 We the People team and has not stopped nerding out since.  Aside from the Constitution, she loves dad jokes, fantasy novels, editing this website, and Panic! at the Disco. 
S. Clinton Woods
Veep​
Clint is a Deputy Attorney General with the California Department of Justice. He is an alumnus of Amador Valley High School’s class of 1995 national champion We The People team and has been volunteering for civic education for a decade. Clint continues to enjoy wearing his national championship medal on a regular basis. The only things Clint thinks are more important than constitutional checks and balances are the win/loss record of the San Francisco Giants and what will happen to the Stark sisters on Game of Thrones.
Subha Rengarajan
​Vice Governor
As deft with a Constitutional citation as she is sharp with her acerbic humor, Subha joined the CACE board in 2019 to support the development of the organization in the coming years. She is an alum of Foothill's WTP class of 2011, and somehow managed to avoid law school despite being in Unit 5. Subha's enthusiasm for the program is infectious and she is a rising star in the civic education community. Subha spends her days a data scientist for product management at Gap Inc. and her nights livetweeting the Bachelorette.​

Vikram Sreekanti
​
Vice President
An alum of Foothill High’s sterling We The People program, Vikram brings unmatched dedication to his volunteer activities. By day, Vikram is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, studying something impossibly technical that no one else in the organization fully understands. By night, Vikram is still a PhD candidate for the same thing no one fully understands, but now it is also dark. Vikram’s passion for civic education is infectious, and genuine. Ask him about metadata.

​Michael Chien
Vice Chairman
​
Michael is a consultant at Redstone Strategy Group, where he works with philanthropies, nonprofits, and governments on social sector issues. He is a Southern California native and a proud alumnus of Arcadia’s WTP program. On the weekend, you might find him backpacking, solving crosswords, or thinking about what challenges might face American constitutional democracy in the 21st century.
Gowri Nayar
Vice Director​
Gowri is a recent graduate from UC Berkeley and was part of the 2016-2017 Amador Valley We The People team. Ever since then, she’s developed a passion for human rights, constitutional law and gender equality. She’s currently taking a break from school and working at a law firm that handles medical compensation for 9/11 victims, before heading to law school. In her free time, she enjoys reading books, watching movies and listening to podcasts.

Daniel Huang
Vice Executive

Dan is a graduate student at Berkeley's Masters in Development Engineering. He's the token Unit 6 alum from Amador Valley High School 2014 who's passionate about the applications of the constitution in public policy including urban planning, public financing, and education. When not transforming food into research papers and code, he loves working with CACE mentoring and judging high school students.

Katie Keeshen
VP

Katie works as a staffer in the California State Assembly. She’s also a proud 2016 U6 alum and would not be where she is today without the We the People program. When not enmeshed in questions of civic engagement and representation, you can find her hiking and trying every conceivable craft involving yarn.

Ria Shroff
Vice Leader

Ria is an alum from Amador 2015, unit 2. She studied biomedical engineering, product design, and science and tech studies at RPI. She now works as a medical device designer/engineer but has never given up her love for We the People. She is our Discord expert and loves climbing and frisbee-ing in her free time.

Amiee Kushner 
​
CFO and Treasurer
Not every person can boast of being the manager of the most quixotic mayoral campaign in modern San Francisco history, but Amiee can. A non-profit veteran, Amiee has provided invaluable guidance to CACE’s efforts to do real, actual good for society and raise real, actual money for a change. Her day job is Director of Human Resources for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Her night job includes, but is not necessarily limited to, making ridiculously great baked goods and trolling the internet for Josh Lyman fanfic.
Sean Gentry
​Chairman and 
Secretary
Sean is a litigator at Ad Astra Law Group in San Francisco, and is a distinguished alumni of Foothill High School’s We The People program. Sean’s meticulous, detail-oriented nature makes his civic education instruction invaluable for participating students. Literally no one on earth is more likely or better-equipped to drop a well-timed Hamilton reference into everyday conversation than Sean Gentry.

Valued Civil Servants (Volunteers)

Brian Ladd
The most decorated We The People teacher in California history, Brian retired from teaching in 2018. Since retirement, Brian enjoys participating in more activities than there are hours in the day. Students throughout the state are very lucky that one of those activities is serving as CACE’s Chief Curriculum Advisor. Brian also enjoys talking with his hands, reminding people of how many silver medals his teams won, and a good bourbon manhattan on the rocks.
Picture
Lisanne Sison
One of the few CACE members to have judged at the Regional, State, and National levels of WTP, Lisanne brings well over a decade of volunteer experience and knowledge to her work with CACE. A We The People alum from Amador Valley, she now works in Risk Management for Arthur J. Gallagher. In her spare time she enjoys golf (for some reason), and training her son to be an adorable ninja.  
Picture
Benjamin Glickman
Ben is a Deputy Attorney General for the State of California. Ben was also a member of the 1995 National Champion We the People Team and has been volunteering for civic education for two decades. In addition, he is universally regarded among We The People students as the Meanest of Mean Judges. Students find Ben deeply terrifying, and also endearingly hilarious. In his spare time, Ben sings Moana songs with his professionally adorable daughters. 
Picture
Theresa Bruckner
A political scientist by education, compliance professional by trade, and would-be general legal aficionado for fun, Theresa has been volunteering with CACE for several years. She is an excellent judge and adept at identifying flaws in arguments and evidence. She also manages the CACE Instagram account, which may or may not feature actual instant film photos (the original Instagram filter!) on occasion.
