Dollars & Sense with Legislators

Given the current economic crisis, it’s no surprise that California legislators are interested in providing Dollars & Sense workshops for their constituents. Over the next few months, we are scheduled to hold several Dollars & Sense workshops and participate in various financial literacy fairs for legislators.

For example, in May, we collaborated with Sen. Leland Yee on a Dollars & Sense workshop for more than 100 high school students.

CalCPA regularly provides legislators with information on how they can hold a financial literacy workshop for their constituents via legislative visits, direct mailings and e-mails. The more frequently we provide legislators with this information, the more likely they will be to coordinate a workshop. If you are in contact with any local or statewide government official, or are interested in making contact, please provide them with information. Downloadable PDFs that provide information on how to host a workshop, as well as participant fact sheets, are available on CalCPA’s website.

To schedule a visit in Northern California, contact Crystil Turner via e-mail or (650) 802-2494. For Southern California, contact Bill Spaniel, CalCPA’s public relations manager, via e-mail or (818) 546-3552.
