Regional Networking
REGIONAL NETWORKING: CAPSES consists of 14 regions throughout the state operating under the leadership of the CAPSES Board of Directors. Local Board Members and Region Representatives coordinate each region. This unique structure enables local CAPSES members to gather, meet and discuss issues directly relating to their schools and agencies as well as receive pertinent information regarding state and local public policy (CDE, CTC, SELPAs, LEAs, and state legislation). REGION MEETING DATES FOR 2019-20 will be available September 2020. Check the CAPSES Event Calendar at www.capses.com for dates and times in your region.
