Caroline Correa – Chair of the Immigration Solidarity Committee
Caroline Correa grew up in Kenmore, New York and attended SUNY Fredonia for a BS in Education and SUNY Potsdam for a MS in Education. She taught grade school and developed a remedial reading program for an Indian Reservation school district. Caroline moved to Bellingham in 1976 and began an accounting career. Many years were spent across the country working in Controller’s Offices in Seattle University, University of Chicago and University of Pittsburgh where she retired as the Assistant Director of Research/Cost Accounting in June 2006. This was also the time to return to Bellingham. Having been freed from desk work, Caroline chose to give back to society by participating in working for human rights – specifically focusing on immigration reform. After studying history and the causes of current injustice in our society she met Rosalinda and started working as the Chair of the Immigration Solidarity Committee (ISC) in December, 2008. In this capacity she manages a listserve for C2C that keeps over 100 members informed continually on the issues surrounding immigration reform. During monthly meetings of the ISC, members plan to support various functions related to our cause and to discuss measures our group can take to advance immigration reform. The ISC also forges relationships with local and national law enforcement officials to seek fairness for all citizens of Whatcom County through peaceful and respectful dialogue. cecorrea2002@yahoo.com
