State Representatives

The following are classified staff involved in statewide committees:

Margarita (Maggie) Baez
California Community Colleges Classified Senate (4CS) Representative for the SSSP Statewide Committee

The 4CS is dedicated to supporting participatory governance for classified staff at community colleges and districts.  The 4CS recognizes the value of higher education in the state of California, and devotes its efforts in advocating the value and contributions classified staff provide to the campus community.  The 4CS provides quality service to promote student success and completion, cooperating with other organizations to enrich the educational experience of the California Community Colleges, serving as a liaison between the California Community Colleges senates, promoting the participation of classified staff in shared governance at the state, local, and college levels, developing and supporting classified senates throughout the state of California, and continues to grow as the statewide participatory governance body for classified staff in California Community Colleges

Participatory governance is a responsibility and classified senates/councils, and other classified governance bodies have eagerly risen to that challenge. The 4CS strongly believes that classified staff participation is essential in providing valuable information and input because of their expertise and experience.  Classified staff are involved in every area of our colleges and are committed to the belief that input from classified staff, the people in the trenches, provide essential contributions to the institution’s ability to make sound "educated" decisions with the best available information.
