Every spring semester, students are able to vote for which members they want to be in the student organization cabinet for the following fall and spring semesters.
The Associated Student Organization is focused on representing students on various campus committees as well as the board of trustees. The organization also represents El Camino students at campus wide committees and also state and nationwide conferences, Breanna von Stein, ASO adviser and Student Services Specialist, said.
