Hosted by the California Center for Research on Women and
Families (CCRWF), the California Working Families Policy Summit
2005 was held on Friday, January 7, at the Sacramento Convention
Center, with more than 500 policy leaders attending.
The half-day Summit helped launch the legislative session with a
preview of policy proposals on issues affecting California's
working families, including health and welfare, nutrition and
physical activity, and child care. Many of the state's leading
advocates shared their priorities for the upcoming year.
Summit materials are available to download below.
Co-sponsors of the Summit included the California Legislative
Women's Caucus; the Black, Latino, Asian Pacific Islander and
LGBT Legislative Caucuses; the California Commission on the
Status of Women, and more than 50 nonprofit organizations.
Funders of the Summit included The California Endowment, the
Stuart Foundation, and The California Nutrition Network for
Healthy, Active Families (with funding support from the Food
Stamp Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture).
