SACRAMENTO, CA .
. . The California Community College Commission on Athletics (COA) today announced a presenting partnership with U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bank). The terms of the agreement designate U.S. Bank as the “Official Banking Services Provider” of the COA and California community college athletics through calendar year 2007.

“This is an exciting time for the COA’s business enterprise. U.S. Bank’s presenting sponsorship with the COA is another step in the continued maturation of our statewide program and their presence enhances our continuing efforts,” said COA Associate Commissioner Stuart Van Horn. “During the last six months, we’ve been fortunate to renew and extend agreements with key partners and the addition of U.S. Bank is another indicator that our program is on time and on target for our partners and sponsors” he said.
