Why We're Transitioning and How the New Structure was Developed

As California works to institutionalize California Jobs First (CJF), the long-term statewide structure is still taking shape, and there is currently no additional legislation or funding extending CJF beyond September 2026. GO-Biz has asked all regions to prepare governance transitions to ensure stability during this shift. Our Steering Committee successfully led the planning and Catalyst phases, but its role is now complete. A successor structure is needed to guide implementation, sustain momentum, and keep LA County aligned with the state.

To build that successor model, we engaged Steering Committee members and partners through leadership planning sessions, four full committee meetings, surveys, written feedback, and iterative drafting. Across all inputs, partners consistently asked for a multi-tier model, broader engagement, clearer participation criteria, a fiscal sponsor, and a transition body that can carry this work beyond 2026. The new ISAC structure directly reflects that collective guidance and positions the region for long-term coordination and investment.
