very year PCL and PCLF host an annual Legislative Symposium to bring together legislators, environmental non-profits, local grassroots groups, businesses, policy-makers and attorneys. Through cutting-edge policy sessions, “How To…” workshops and inspirational keynote speakers we hope to engage, empower and enlighten our participants.
The Symposium draws several hundred of the state’s leading environmental advocates, policymakers, elected officials, attorneys, consultants, public agencies, businesses, and community leaders. Together we will address a broad range of environmental issues and plan strategies for shaping future environmental laws in California. This daylong conference provides participants with an excellent opportunity to network. For attorneys, there are several sessions that qualify for continuing education (MCLE).
