ICEPAC
The California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) is the largest state career college association in the United States, and the most visible organization in Sacramento representing private career schools. Your role is essential to our efforts in representing private postsecondary schools like yours. By contributing to the Independent Coalition of Private Educators Political Action Committee (ICEPAC), you can help elect officials who show strong support for our sector. The return on your investment in ICEPAC will be the benefit of all private career colleges in California.
During each legislative term, state legislators must take positions on important bills that have been introduced and / or amended, as well as budget bills and state regulatory issues. Your donation will help us continue building broad-based support for our sector in the legislative arena.
Every two years, one-third of all seats will be filled with new legislators. It is our responsibility to educate them about the positive effects of our schools on California's economy. Since California does not have public financing of elections, your donation to ICEPAC will help us educate these new legislators. With your help, ICEPAC will:
- Increase CAPPS' access to the legislative leadership.
- Educate members of Higher Education committees and subcommittees about the benefits of private postsecondary education.
- Work to increase Cal Grant opportunities for our students.
- Focus on increasing our sector’s influence in the implementation of the Workforce Investment Act.
- Protect retraining opportunities for injured workers.
- Educate legislators in many areas that offer new opportunities for our sector, but need legislative support. These areas include, but are not limited to: STRF relief, Welfare Reform, Department of Consumer Affairs Boards and Bureaus, and laws relating to our profession and the way we do business.
We can only reach these goals with the assistance of CAPPS members and other organizations that are concerned for the future welfare and success of our sector.
Do not let the Legislature pass laws based on widespread publicity generated by a few bad schools. Help us keep the positive results you are achieving in front of key lawmakers.
