YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) says Associate Superintendent Lilian Campa was selected for the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership’s 2026 Flinn-Brown Fellowship.
According to a press release, the fellowship “brings together civic leaders from throughout Arizona to help expand their knowledge, skills, and networks to address Arizona’s long-term issues,” and Campa is one of 24 people across the state to earn the fellowship.
“Being selected is both an honor and a responsibility,” Campa said. “I see it as recognition that the work I have been doing in education and leadership has value beyond my immediate role. I wanted to be part of the fellowship because meaningful change happens when people understand systems, build relationships, and engage in thoughtful dialogue — especially with people who may see issues differently. In education, many of the challenges we face are deeply connected to public policy, and I wanted to grow my ability to advocate effectively for students, educators, and communities.”
As a Flinn-Brown Fellow, YUHSD says Campa will participate in policy discussion that are focused on the following issues affecting Arizona:
Education
Water
Economic development
Healthcare
Infrastructure
State government
In addition, YUHSD says the fellowship provides opportunities to speak with policymakers, subject matter experts and leaders throughout the state.
“I plan to use what I learn to strengthen my leadership and deepen my understanding of how policy decisions impact schools and communities,” Campa added.
