A symposium for elected officials, business, labor and community leaders that will focus on identifying strategies to break the financial gridlock and restore California’s greatness.

The goal of this program is to identify some specific reasons why government in California is challenged and not functioning to its full or historic capability. In order to do so, the program will feature a series of panelists who will discuss topics such as the improvement of the legislative process, measuring the effectiveness of California governance, meeting the needs of California's residents and the sustainable economy, among others.
