Meet the Board
The CCWPA Board of Directors is made up of volunteers giving their time and energy to learning about Washington state laws and their impact on CC communities and host churches. We are a religious non-profit that seeks to assist Classical Conversations Directors and host churches in setting up and maintaining a Classical Conversations program in Washington state so that the Director can spend less time focused on administrative duties and more time equipping and empowering parents to educate their children using the Classical Conversations curriculum.
Ryan Singletary
President
Ryan's and his wife, Annie, have homeschooled with CC throughout. They have four children ranging in age from 7 to 14. For 2022-23 the Singletary kiddos will span Ch.I, Ch.A, Essentials (2nd Tour), and Foundations. Ryan has tutored six years of Essentials, while Annie has served as a Foundations tutor, F/E Director, and will soon add Challenge A to her resume.

Teresa Coy
Vice President

Over the years she has served in many leadership roles for CC - everything from Essentials Tutor, to Area Representative, to Challenge Director. To say that Teresa has loved this journey she has been blessed to be on, would be an understatement.
