There's always something happening at the CSAC Institute, and this week we're highlighting the
people, programs, and opportunities that make our work so meaningful!
We are honored to highlight one of our newest CSAC Institute alumni from the 2026
Monterey County Cohort, looking ahead to Navigating New Frontiers in Technology, and
showcasing upcoming courses and specialized training opportunities designed to support
county professionals across California!
CSAC Alumni Spotlight: Rosemary Soto
This week, we're excited to spotlight one of
our newest CSAC Institute alumni,
Rosemary Soto, Public Health Program
Manager and Health Equity Officer for the
County of Monterey and member of our
Monterey County Campus Cohort of
2026!
For Rosemary, public service is rooted in a
simple but powerful principle:
"Service above self."
Her approach to leadership centers on uplifting others, empowering communities, and ensuring
that the voices of those she serves help shape public health decisions.
While reflecting on her experience with the CSAC Institute's Executive Credential Program,
Rosemary shared:
"There's something special that comes from learning together. Each session gave me
new insights, affirmed my core values and introduced me to new concepts about
leadership."
From the wisdom passed down by her grandmother to the lessons gained throughout her career,
Rosemary's story highlights the importance of community, collaboration, and learning in public
service.
Read Rosemary's full Alumni Spotlight in our bulletin to learn more about her leadership journey,
what public service means to her, and the advice that continues to guide her work.
