This year, the coalition met with various state departments including the California Department of Water, CA Dept. of Education, Governor Schwarzenegger’s staff on legislation, and Assemblymember John Perez, Speaker-Elect of the California Assembly. Following their Legislative visits, CBM hosted a public reception in honor of California’s Black Elected Officials in Northern California.
During the reception, CBM unveiled their first online directory of Black elected officials in the State of California. The directory offers a comprehensive listing of Black Elected Officials currently serving in the State from congressional representatives, state legislators, county officials, mayors, city council members and school board members positioned within California’s 58 counties. The directory can be accessed through the CBM website: www.calblackmedia.com.
