We had all 3 of our board members attend SCLO in San Diego in January. We had a legislative review day and read hundreds of California bills for 2020 legislative day preparation. Sacramento not only hosts legislative day, but is home to both State Government affairs chairs. Most of the first part of the year was spent helping prepare for that. We have scheduled an all day symposium in June (now rescheduled to November) and have been working on planning for that.
