Each region is comprised of several local Dream Networks. Each Dream Network is lead by one or two steering members and may comprise 1 to 3 campus-based or non-campus-based AB 540 student support groups. - Northern Region (is composed of 4 local Dream Networks) - Central Region (is composed of 2 local Dream Networks) - LA Metro Region (is composed of 4 local Dream Networks) - Southern Region (is composed of 5 local Dream Networks) The Steering Committee is composed of 17 student activists who are elected at every statewide retreat, serve until the next statewide retreat and help guide the network in a statewide campaign to mobilize and garner political support for the passage of the CA Dream Act and the federal DREAM Act, put an end to budget cuts on education, and advocate for the passage of comprehensive and just immigration policies. The total number of steering members flunctuate every term usually do to new undocumented student groups joining the network. Steering members represent the four different regions as follows: Northern Region ( 4 Steering Members ) Central Region ( 3 Steering Members ) LA Metro Region ( 5 Steering Members ) Southern Region ( 5 Steering Members ) Each AB 540 student support group selects one or two students from its members to serve as its official representative(s). These students are known as Organization/Campus Representative and participate in monthly statewide conference calls and report back to their campuses on the content of the calls; help organize and mobilize for statewide and local actions; and most importantly serve as role models to immigrant students in their communities. Special committees are also created to empower and encourage members to assume leadership roles such as in the Direct Action and Fundraising Committees. The California Dream Network is a statewide network of existing and emerging college-based and non-college-based organizations who actively address issues affecting undocumented and historically disadvantaged students, and who work to create broader social change around immigration reform and access to higher education.
