Thank you for your continued commitment to learning, leadership, and public service. Every
opportunity to learn and gain a new perspective can strengthen how we show up for our
communities. At the CSAC Institute, we’re proud to cultivate spaces for county professionals to
continue growing and learning from one another.
This week, we’re highlighting our Technology Credential Graduates, the next course in the
'2026 Geeking Out Series', a free webinar on employee engagement, and our upcoming
virtual course offerings.
Celebrating Our Technology Credential Graduates
Join us in celebrating our newest Technology Credential graduates, who completed their one-
year program this week at the California County Information Services Directors Association
(CCISDA) Fall Conference. This year, 23 participants from across California successfully
completed the program, culminating in a capstone presentation during the conference as part of
the graduation celebration.
We proudly congratulate these dedicated professionals for the time, effort, and commitment they
invested throughout the program. With their achievement, they join a growing community of more
than 350 Technology Credential holders across the state.
Join us in congratulating our newest graduates on this outstanding accomplishment!
