Caucuses and Affiliates

Overview

CSAC Caucuses and Affiliates

July 12, 2012

CSAC currently has about 45 diverse Affiliate Members that have a common goal; working on behalf of California’s 58 counties to improve the quality of life for all of our residents.

Affiliate Members represent a host of elected and appointed county staff leaders, who – through independent associations or organizations – represent the needs of various county service-delivery personnel, as well as the valuable public services they provide.

Affiliate members can play a significant role in statewide policy development and implementation through their voting membership on CSAC policy committees. Affiliate members are encouraged to provide advice to the CSAC Board of Directors through active participation on policy committees, as well as be involved in other CSAC activities and programs.

(Affiliates are listed by general policy area, but many have relationships and interactions with multiple policy committees.)
