The PCL Symposium draws several hundred of the state’s leading environmental advocates, policymakers, elected officials, attorneys, consultants, public agencies, businesses, and community leaders. Together we will address a broad range of environmental issues and plan strategies for shaping future environmental laws in California. This daylong conference provides participants with an excellent opportunity to network. For attorneys, there are several sessions that qualify for continuing education (MCLE).

2009 Symposium Proceedings
The 2009 PCL and PCL Foundation Symposium was a great success! The 2009 Symposium theme: “Steps to a Sustainable California: Building Momentum for Real Change.” All of the policy panels and keynote addresses brought to light the task at hand: improving California’s environment while rebuilding the economy. Our environmental struggles are serious, but with a united coalition, informed members and innovative ideas we are aligned to make 2009 an impressive year for California. Great discussions, important workshops and new partnerships were forged in 2009 and will help us reach a sustainable California. Even with a struggling economy and frozen state grants program, the event brought together over 315 activists, policy and decision-makers, attorneys, land use planners and environmental non-profits and community groups.
In order to continue to provide you with current and relevant information on the environment the Symposium Proceedings has been made available.
