Mayors’ Circles

Annually, the Northern California College Promise Coalition organizes the Mayors’ Circle, a significant event that brings together elected and public officials dedicated to enhancing education equity for local students. 

During the Mayors’ Circle, participants are given the opportunity to discuss the progress and impact of the NCCPC thus far, serving as a platform to foster collaboration and explore various opportunities for involvement.

The Mayors’ Circle includes city, state, and national leaders and brings together postsecondary leaders, employers, funders, and NCCPC’s members. This diverse group engages in fruitful discussions about education as a crucial pathway to economic mobility and ending poverty in California.
