Welcome to the CCB Courier for January 24, 2025.
From CCB Governmental Affairs:
The Governmental Affairs Committee would like to let you know about an advocacy opportunity where we need all hands on deck. Perhaps you have heard how hard it is to get appointments with members of Congress if you don’t live in their district. So this year, we are asking first for those of us who can, go to DC and represent California at the DC Leadership Conference. Then we would like those who wish to learn about the imperatives and contact members at their District offices or on Zoom, sign up and learn through roleplaying and information sharing. Finally, we need CCB members across the state to be willing to help us schedule the meetings and just be present to introduce the people who are with them to talk about the imperatives, Represent California, and make CCB’s voice heard on the hill! If you can go in person, let us know by February 15.
Meetings to learn more: February 10 and March 3
DC Leadership Conference: March 14th-18th, at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel in Arlington, VA. Visit the ACB conference page for details:
