Celebrating Five Years of Exceptional Leaders

Mike Madrid, League director of public affairs, moderates a session with CCLI alumni and now Assembly Members Anthony Portantino and Curt Hagman about their experiences transitioning from positions as city elected officials to the Legislature. More than 20 city officials gathered in Sacramento late last week for the conclusion of this year’s California Civic Leadership Institute (CCLI) for a two-day discussion on political reform and the political climate in the state’s capital. The Sacramento event on Aug. 20-21 followed sessions in July where the class of 22 was divided into two groups for meetings at Southern California Edison’s Big Creek Hydroelectric facility focused on substantive statewide issues such as water, transportation and energy issues.
