Agenda: The Annual Symposium will include a dynamic keynote presentation, interactive panel discussions, ��How To�Ķ�� workshops, and MCLE courses. During each of the three 75-minute sessions, participants will choose from an action-oriented list of panels and workshops. During lunch, PCL and PCLF will honor a few of California��s most effective, inspirational, and hardworking environmental advocates.

This conference will ensure decision makers, business leaders, legal professionals, and activists, walk away equipped with the tools needed to make important changes in their community and on a statewide level. Attorneys and planners can also benefit with Continuing Legal Education and Certification Maintenance credit respectively for our several of our sessions.
