You must be a WACAC member to participate.

On March 16, we’ll provide you with everything you need to know for advocating to lawmakers, starting with a California 101 legislative briefing to help you understand the process, timelines, budget, bills, and issues facing education in the state.

Once you’ve been briefed, it’s time to act! On March 17, you’ll get the chance to meet in person with California legislators or their staff. You'll have an opportunity to share your lived experiences helping students navigate high school completion, college access, the transition to higher education, and daily job duties.

Review the tentative agenda.

WACAC will reimburse attendees for half the cost of a single-occupancy, one-night stay ($229/night plus taxes, etc.) or the full cost of a double-occupancy (with another GRAC attendee), one-night stay at Embassy Suites for the conference.

Attendees are responsible for their own transportation costs to and from the conference. WACAC will pay for parking on March 16 & 17 ($45/night).
