California Road to Recovery - Economic Stimulus Conferences
 

The California Commission for Jobs and Economic Growth, in cooperation with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Recovery Task Force, is hosting a series of three conferences focusing on transforming California's share of federal stimulus funding into new jobs. The conferences are:

• Fresno, Wednesday, July 8, 2009 - California State University, Fresno

• San José, Thursday, July 23, 2009 - San José State University

• Anaheim, Date TBD - Anaheim Convention Center

In the next two years, California will receive more than $85 billion in federal stimulus funding to spur economic growth and create jobs. State, local and regional agencies are working hard to organize a clear process for effectively distributing the federal money and maximizing its potential for creating jobs. However, much confusion and misinformation still remains.

The conferences will bring together local, regional, state and federal experts from numerous industry sectors including transportation, education, broadband, workforce training and energy. The conferences will provide practical and technical guidance on how local communities - including public agencies and private employers - can access some of the $85 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding that has already begun flowing into the state's economy.

The registration fee is $20.00 or $30.00 to include a box lunch.
