Our Team
Expect More Tehama is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by a committed board of seven caring community members, each representing diverse sectors of Tehama County. Often referred to as our Guiding Team, we remain rooted in our core question: What can begin to do or put in place to prepare students beyond a high school diploma? What can we do better together that we can’t do alone? This question keeps us focused—yet flexible enough to follow the energy of the community and adapt as needs evolve.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Kathy Garcia and strategist and co-founder Kate Grissom, our team leans into the collective power of local leaders, always seeking alignment with the mission and values that guide us.
Expect More Tehama isn’t about “us”—it’s about we.
It’s the people who care deeply about this incredible rural region, who show up with optimism, collaboration, and a shared belief that it is possible to create the conditions for something better—for our kids, our families, and our future.
