PREPARING FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Resolutions: Have you reviewed and discussed the current resolution packet? We encourage you to review the more than 25 resolutions that the Delegates attending the General Assembly will consider to guide the SSCCC into next year. Students should discuss these resolutions in their student body associations, clubs, regions, and wherever student leaders are gathered. You can find the resolution packet on our website at this link.
if you would like to learn more about the Resolution Debate at the upcoming General Assembly, please attend our Webinar on March 20th at 12:00 pm. You can join the webinar via this link.
Elections: During the General Assembly, the Delegates will elect the incoming officers for the 2021 - 22 Board of Directors. The candidates and their statements are now available on the SSCCC website at this link. You can also join the candidates as they take questions from the delegates and others during the Candidate Forum on March 26th at 3:00 pm. Check out the process to be used during the elections at this link.
Agenda: The preliminary program for the General Assembly is posted on the SSCCC at this link. The Conference Committee has also approved 20 workshops to be offered during the General Assembly. The Workshop schedule is now available at this link.
Have you thought about participating on a state board or commission? We are looking for student leaders who can bring their experiences and passions to higher education policymaking. The Student Senate for California Community Colleges is seeking student leaders who would be interested in serving on the California Community College Board of Governors or the California Student Aid Commission.
If you are interested in either position, please check out the qualifications and process on our website at the following links:
The application process for the student member to the Board of Governors and California Student Aid Commission for the 2021 - 2023 term is coming to a close with applications due March 29, 2021.

SSCCC Fun Facts
Did you know that the SSCCC once had a position called "System Affairs Directors" or "SAD"? Individuals holding the SAD positions would primarily sit on statewide participatory governance groups to ensure regional representation throughout the state. However, these positions were eliminated and the governance groups opened to all Board of Directors positions and students at large. You can find information about the external participatory groups at this link.
