CERF Listening Sessions

In late 2021 and early 2022, CA FWD and PolicyLink will host ten virtual listening sessions across California to promote information-sharing, foster collaboration and prepare regions to engage in CERF. 

We want to hear from you! 

These two-hour sessions will provide information about the state’s CERF program and the support the CA FWD and PolicyLink collaborative can provide to your regional efforts, and will be an opportunity for regions to raise pertinent questions, identify planning needs or gaps, share existing assets and discuss how to leverage work already underway to best prepare for this unique opportunity.
