Why participate?
Lobbying is more than just advocating for favorable outcomes; it is about educating those who make decisions that affect us.  Through education, we can build a comprehensive understanding of our profession with our elected leaders and promote policy that will protect the safety and interests of those we serve.

Who should participate?
This one-day complimentary event for CALBO Members, whether you are the government affairs novice or an active politico.  All you have to do is RSVP to let us know that you are coming, and show up ready to meet with decision-makers.   

What is Leadership & Advocacy Day?
Leadership & Advocacy Day participants are briefed by CALBO’s Advocacy Team in the morning, covering all topics and questions relative to our activities at the State Capitol.  Following lunch, participants take the short walk to legislative offices for pre-arranged meetings with State Legislators.  By meeting with legislative offices, you are showcasing the work of your local building department, while forging relationships that benefit your community.  You will also have the opportunity to represent CALBO, promoting the best interests of local building departments and our membership.
