Sacramento Bee will mark the culmination of its 2018 California
Influencer Series by hosting the California Priorities Summit on
Friday, November 9, 2018 at
the Sofia Tsakopoulos Center for the Arts from 8am - 12:30pm. The event will convene leaders,
decision makers and voters for an inclusive, civil, dynamic
gathering that challenges political assumptions and creates a
shared vision for California.
The California Priorities Summit is a continuation of
conversations sparked by The Sacramento Bee Influencer Series -- an
unparalleled project that put a sharp focus on policy issues most
pressing for voters, and offered insight and perspective on those
issues from influential leaders from across the state of
California.
"We're proud to have ignited meaningful discussions about issues
that were front-and-center on voters' minds in the midterm
election," said Lauren Gustus,
editor of The Sacramento Bee and regional editor of McClatchy's
West region. "Our Influencer Series and this summit represent The
Bee's commitment to finding innovative ways to engage our readers
and leading voices in the state, and to catalyze meaningful
conversations that are focused on building a better California."
The California Priorities Summit will be composed of live
interviews, panel discussions, live/social media Q & A and
participant-generated recommendations. This event will be
livestreamed on SacBee.com.
Participants will tackle a number of policy areas at the
California Priorities Summit:
- Living in California -- Where
we can afford to live and how we'll get there (a discussion about
housing and transportation)
- Pushing the Ball Forward on the Big Issues: Education |
Jobs/Economy | Environment/Energy
- Gearing up for Governor -- Former Governor Gray Davis weighs in on what's next for
