About CSBA

The California School Boards Association (CSBA) is a collaborative group of virtually all of the state’s more than 1,000 school districts and county offices of education.

It brings together school governing boards and their districts and county offices on behalf of California’s children. CSBA is a member-driven association that supports the governance team — school board members, superintendents and senior administrative staff — in its complex leadership role. CSBA develops, communicates and advocates the perspective of California school districts and county offices of education.

Call for nominations for elected members of the Delegate Assembly

DEADLINE DATE: Nominations and biographical sketch forms for CSBA’s Delegate Assembly will be accepted until Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Any CSBA member board is eligible to nominate board members within their geographical region or subregion. Each board may nominate as many individuals as it chooses by using the nomination form or submitting a letter of nomination.

All nominees must submit a biographical sketch (required, see link below) along with their nomination form (see link below). (An optional one-page, one-sided résumé may also be submitted.) The U.S. Post Office postmark or fax deadline for the required nomination and biographical sketch and optional résumé is Wednesday, January 7, 2009. (A mailed copy is preferable to a fax.)

CSBA Delegates serve two-year terms. Those elected in 2009 will serve beginning April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2011. There are two Delegate Assembly meetings each year, one in May prior to CSBA’s Legislative Action Conference in Sacramento and one preceding the CSBA Annual Education Conference in November/December. Each Delegate is required to attend these two meetings each year. In accordance with CSBA Bylaws, CSBA does not pay travel expenses associated with Delegate Assembly meetings. Districts and county associations often cover or offer supplemental help with expenses.
