A message from Johan Gallo, CalABC Executive Director.
We wanted to pass along the information from the Governor's Office on the appointments to the Secretary Position and Director of Consumer Affairs.
For those not familiar with the organizational structure, Alexis Podesta as the newly appointed Secretary of the California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, Podesta manages Dean Grafilo who is the newly appointed Director for the Department of Consumer Affairs. Many of you know the Department of Consumer Affairs Director, Dean Grafilo manages Pat Dorais at the Bureau of Automotive Repair.
