Legislative Visit Modification
As noted on the schedule at legislativedays.csda.net, due to the remodeling of the State Capitol and evolving precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, CSDA will be inviting Legislators and Capitol staff to a luncheon with attendees in place of traditional visits to legislative offices.
CSDA will make every effort to secure the participation of as many legislative representatives as possible and strive to group attendees with state officials from their region. However, the attendance of specific Legislators and Capitol staff and the exact seating arrangements of attendees cannot be guaranteed due to variables outside the control of CSDA.
In order to provide attendees with flexibility to maximize their travel to Sacramento, the schedule does provide 90 minutes of free time on Tuesday, May 17 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. as an opportunity for attendees to check in to their hotel room, independently schedule meetings outside of the conference, conduct other business as may be necessary, rest, or explore the Capitol area.
