Our Conference Theme: Mission de PARMA
Remembering Old World California
This year's conference theme
Mission de PARMA
is inspired by the first 150 years of California's tale, filled with conquest, risk, adventure, struggle, strife, survival, and romanticism.
Native Americans,
Spanish explorers, Mexican soldiers, monks, paisanos, fishermen, vaq
ueros, ranchers, traders, sailors, and even pirates are all culturally significant characters in the California story.
Imagine their world of risk, everything could be gained or lost in one event, conquest, or disaster! Lacking the tools of modern risk managers, they had to survive on their wits - or sheer luck.
Help us celebrate the evolution and history of old world California whose narrative provides the foundation for the rich cultural history, resiliency, and diversity we value today.
