State ACSA Committees and Councils

 

 

In addition to our Region 17 Board of Directors, ACSA 17 has representatives from our region serving on State ACSA Committees and Councils.

 

Committee/Council work serves two purposes within ACSA: expertise and networking. The two functions involve responding to issues in two ways. Committees/councils respond to and develop activities and resources related to board-adopted issues and ACSA’s mission and vision, and they also act on issues specific to and identified by the committee/council itself.

 

Council membership is comprised of an elected President and a member from each Region, all of whom hold positions related to a specific job-a-like and are made of members from each region aligned with a job-a-like category. Councils develop Bylaws and operating rules which are approved by the board of directors.

 

Committees are comprised of an appointed Chair and members that may or may not represent every region. Formation of a committee is based on a common interest or goal, rather than a job-a-like.

 

Committees and Councils meet throughout the year both virtually and in person.  Here is a link to the 2023-24 Committee and Council Meeting Dates.

 

If you have any questions, concerns, or input here are our Region 17 Representatives.

 

The 2024-2025 ACSA Region 17  State Committee Chairs and Councils meeting dates & contact information will be updated soon!

ACSA Classified Educational Leaders
Institute Comes to Orange County!
 
Each year, classified educational leaders are invited
to come together through the ACSA Classified
Educational Leaders Institute. This year’s event will be
held February 21-23, 2024, in Orange County. While
the final location has yet to be announced, it is an
event that classified leaders will not want to miss!
Sessions are designed for classified leaders in business/
fiscal services, human resources/personnel, maintenance/
operations, custodial, technology, facilities, student
services/instructional, superintendent’s, assistants, and
other confidential and/or administrative assistants.
The three-day institute is an excellent opportunity
to meet with other classified professionals, share
information, and learn about current issues.
Presenters from various fields of expertise will share
resources, strategies, techniques, and tools that will help
to increase your knowledge and understanding of your
role or a field you may be interested in learning more
about. More information will be provided on the ACSA
website and emailed directly out to Chapter Presidents
and classified staff as soon as details become available. If
you want to be sure you receive an email directly from me,
please complete this form to be added to the email list.
