2016 Policy Development Survey Results Now Available

In August and September 2015, we surveyed stakeholders and partners to learn more about the nutrition issues facing California communities and to explore potential solutions to those challenges. A summary of the results of our survey is now available.

We will consider these survey results, input from stakeholder interviews, and a review of our strategic plan, among other factors, as we develop our 2016 policy priorities. In the coming months we will share these priorities in the form of a legislative agenda, an administrative advocacy agenda, and a research agenda.

CalFresh Forum Event Program Now Posted!

The 2015 CalFresh Forum event program is now available. This year the Forum is designed with three plenary speakers each bringing unique insight into modernized business processes and systems which can be adapted to improve CalFresh participation and customer service. 

CFPA is thrilled to welcome USDA SNAP Administrator Jessica Shahin, who will provide updates on SNAP from a national perspective. CDSS CalFresh Branch Chief Kim McCoy Wade will also lead an interactive discussion of current and upcoming opportunities to improve and strengthen the CalFresh program statewide.

In addition to the program speakers, the annual "Freshy" awards will be presented in acknowledgment of individual Californians, as well as organizations, from across the state that have worked diligently in the last year to improve CalFresh.

A networking reception will be held immediately after the event.
