Every member represents a leader who has chosen to invest in their own professional growth, their colleagues, and the future of educational leadership in California.
That’s why membership growth is about much more than numbers, it’s about strengthening the community that supports school leaders every day.
This year, we’re proud to celebrate the remarkable efforts of our regions and volunteer leaders who worked tirelessly to recruit new members, welcome emerging leaders, and share the value of belonging to ACSA.
Because of those collective efforts, ACSA closed the fiscal year with 19,123 active members, a net increase of 392 members over the previous year. Nine of our 19 regions achieved the statewide 2 percent membership growth incentive, an impressive accomplishment in a year marked by changing district priorities, budget pressures, and an evolving educational landscape.
Congratulations to our 2025–26 membership growth leaders! We proudly recognize the following regions for surpassing the 2 percent growth benchmark:
- Region 17 (9.69 percent increase).
- Region 7 (7.23 percent increase).
- Region 11 (4.07 percent increase).
- Region 10 (3.86 percent increase).
- Region 9 (3.81 percent increase).
- Region 2 (3.30 percent increase).
- Region 1 (2.84 percent increase).
- Region 6 (2.52 percent increase).
- Region 19 (2.30 percent increase).
Membership growth is a year-round effort, and every conversation, event, referral, and renewal strengthens our statewide community.
Thank you to our volunteer leaders, membership recruiters, Member Services team, and every member who shared their ACSA story this year. Your commitment continues to ensure that educational leaders across California have access to the support, advocacy, professional learning, and community they need to thrive.
