On January 21, 2010 California Black Media (CBM) hosted its 9th annual Legislative Day in the State Capitol to give California legislators the opportunity to connect with the CBM owners and address a number of critical issues facing the ethnic print industry as well as key issues that affect African American communities of California.
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.
