The primary purpose of CSAC is to represent county government
before the California Legislature, administrative agencies and
the federal government. CSAC places a strong emphasis on
educating the public about the value and need for county programs
and services.
While California’s 58 counties – ranging from Alpine with a
little more than 1,000 people, to Los Angeles with more than 10
million – are diverse, many common issues exist. CSAC’s long-term
objective is to significantly improve the fiscal health of all
California counties so they can adequately meet the demand for
vital public programs and services.
CSAC is proud to represent the counties of California. With
continuing member involvement and staff commitment, we are
refining and expanding programs and services that will ensure the
success of counties well into the future as the closest level of
government to the people.
The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) shall adhere
to the highest professional standards of conduct relying on its
character, integrity, ability and strength. To this end, CSAC
subscribes equally to the following values and principles:
County Focused – We will be county focused and
our policies will be member driven.
Integrity – We will be consistently honest and
fair.
The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) serves as the
effective advocated and unified voice of California’s 58
Counties.
CSAC Mission
To serve California Counties by: developing and equipping county
