Registration for the 2013 CalFresh Forum is now open! You can register online and find out more about the Forum by visiting the CalFresh Forum page.

This year there will be a $10 registration fee to help cover the rising costs of organizing and hosting the Forum. The registration fee includes your attendance, lunch and light breakfast service. If the registration fee would prevent you from participating in the forum, please let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

As in years past, the CalFresh Forum will bring together hundreds of key stakeholders from across the state to discuss strategies and opportunities to improve the reach and impact of CalFresh. This year's theme, innovative strategies for maximizing client experience and retention, will be reflected in the plenary speaker and workshop sessions.

Details about the event, including workshop topics, are now available. link

With the election just around the corner, CFPA would like to encourage all of our Nutrition Action Alert readers to cast their votes. We'd also like to remind you of our endorsement of California's Proposition 30.

Prop 30 offers a reasonable short-term revenue solution to help close California's budget shortfall and prevent deep cuts to education. Prop 30 brings California closer to achieving a state budget that allows for the continued investment in nutrition and in the overall well-being of low-income Californians. A stable budget helps advance new initiatives and proposals that will ultimately benefit California and its low-income residents.
