Junior Leagues of California State Public Affairs Committee (CalSPAC) hosted its annual Summer Conference on Saturday, August 1 at the Junior League of San Francisco (for Northern Junior Leagues) and at the Junior League of San Francisco (for Southern Junior Leagues). CalSPAC delegates were invited to this quick introductory training to set up the year for success including how to navigate CalSPAC's matrix project which Junior delegates collect information about their Leagues so that CalSPAC may represent their interests when taking legislative action.
The morning began with a social media training led by Rita Scurich (Junior League of Monterey County) followed up by updated from our Policy Subcommittee Chairs Lenka Wright (Junior League of San Jose), Christie Bettendorf (Junior League of Long Beach), Ann Yih (Junior League of Palo Alto*Mid-Peninsula), and Marla Livengood (Junior League of San Joaquin County). CalSPAC's Co-Chairs Katherine Ahlswede and Sarah Percoulis also revealed their Road Map for the year.
In the afternoon, delegates learned how to conduct visits with elected officials led by Summer Ugale, Trainer. Junior delegates were assigned mini-placements, a new way for delegates to get involved early on in their CalSPAC placement. Senior delegates were trained on how to successfully mentor Junior delegates.
The day concluded with delegates sharing their plans for the year. Thank you to the Junior League of San Francisco and Junior League of Los Angeles for hosting our delegates.
