What is a “Region”?
• The AB86 Work Group has recognized the need to
define “Region”
• For the purpose of planning we are using the bill language
which defines region as the geographic boundaries of
community college districts.
• 72 Community College District Boundaries
• Boundaries are used for the purpose of defining a consortia
geographical area and NOT to define leadership roles within
consortiums.
• Shared Leadership
• Map on Website
• Partners and Members
