Assemblyman Louis Caldera Selected to Direct Americorps Programs

Assemblyman Louis Caldera (Los Angeles) confirmed Wednesday that he will resign his Assembly seat by the end of the year to take a Clinton Administration position as the managing director of the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Caldera, who still must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, will become the number two ranking official in the agency that administers the national service initiatives such as the National Senior Service Corporation, Learn & Serve America, and the 30,000-participant Americorps volunteer program.

Depending on how quickly the Senate moves on Caldera's confirmation, Caldera could vacate his Assembly seat as early as late summer.
