Everybody remembers their first day on the job but what about the day after? On his second day as our newly elected Association President, Matthew “Shane” Dishman was welcomed to his new role by Governor Gavin Newsom.

This Fall, an election will be held for a seat on the CalPERS board and we need your help to make sure classified staff continue to have a strong voice in the management and protection of their pensions. That is why the CSEA Board of Directors has endorsed one of our own, Jose Luis Pacheco, for the Member-at-Large Position B seat on the CalPERS board. Contact your chapter leaders or RRs to sign Jose’s petition and for other ways to support his candidacy!

Conference: Last week, I shared that by holding a virtual conference this year we can invite all members to attend as member visitors. I'm thrilled to announce that this year's 94th annual event will officially be the most attended conference in CSEA history. More than 2,200 members have signed up so far – an astounding number! Hear all about the many benefits to joining us for the “Greatest Virtual Conference Ever” in today’s video. Next week is your last chance to sign up, so don’t delay. Go to www.csea.com/conference to register as a member visitor and tell your fellow chapter members to join you!

Thank you for registering for CSEA’s 94th Annual Conference! While many organizations across the nation have cancelled their events, the CSEA Board of Directors decided ours is too important to skip. Delegates will act on Resolutions, adopt the budget and hear the State of the Union during live streamed webinars.
