Melissa Madigan has almost 20 years of experience in California public schools as well as experience serving on two non-profit boards. She brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for dual enrollment as a promising and attainable educational pathway for all students.

Currently, she is the Executive Director of DualWorks (formerly CCEMC), and is focused on helping this organization attain its goals, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programming and outcomes.

As a former teacher and principal of Ghidotti ECHS in Nevada County, Melissa not only led Ghidotti to state and national recognition as a National Blue Ribbon Exemplary High Performing School and was nominated as a TH Bell Excellence in School Leadership nominee but also created a climate of excellence, inclusivity, and community presence. Melissa says she has seen first-hand the enormous impact dual enrollment opportunities have on students, their families, and their community. It is a life-changing process.
