Experience Grassroots Advocacy in Action

Stern/Mulak Advocacy Day has been conducted via a series of virtual meetings since 2020. CSEA Members meet with members of the two key tax policy Committees in the Senate Governance and Finance and Assembly Revenue and Taxation, as well as the leaders in both the Assembly and Senate, to advocate for relevant tax and administrative issues. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet and hear updates (inside scoop!) from the top advisors to the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee and the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.

Undecided About Participating? Consider this: 100% of survey respondents said they found this event to be worth their time, that they will participate again, and they would recommend this event to other EAs!
