Meet Our Keynote Speaker
Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens

FACCC is proud to announce that Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens will serve as the keynote speaker for this year's Advocacy & Policy Conference. A former member of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District Board, he now champions education and housing equity in the state legislature.

A longtime advocate for equitable access, affordability, and student-centered policy, Assemblymember Ahrens brings a deep understanding of how legislation shapes both the classroom experience and the future of the California Community Colleges system.

During his keynote, he will reflect on his own experience as a community college student navigating homelessness and housing insecurity, and how those challenges continue to drive his work in public policy.
