WELCOME!
The California Association of Senior Service Centers (CASSC) is a statewide professional organization for senior center leaders. CASSC provides networking and career development for those leaders while addressing the issues of programming, personnel, administration, volunteers, and fundraising through an annual conference. CASSC also affords its members an opportunity to affect change in their local agencies and to advocate for legislative action. CASSC promotes:
