1. Hello, The PowerPoint you will find here was created to be a helpful tool. It is not necessary that presenters use this format, order, or look. Given the number of presentations that the Commission will be hearing on 2/26, and the necessary time constraints, some organization of the presentations will assist the commissioners. The Center for Collaborative Policy, CSU Sacramento is assisting the CRC in preparing for their 2/26 session. If you have any questions or would like to talk any aspect of the 2/26 session through please call Sarah Rubin, CCP, 916.341.3331. Reminder: The goal of the 2/26/11 session is not to receive formal community of interest testimony. Formal hearings to collect community of interest testimony are currently being scheduled and will be held across the state.
