Legislative Platform
Prior to the start of each General Assembly, CCAO members develop, through the committee and Board of Directors approval process, a legislative platform to guide the Association’s advocacy efforts for the next two years. Ultimately, the platform is voted on by the CCAO general membership at the annual winter conference in December.
Previous iterations of the CCAO Legislative Platform can be provided upon request. Please email Research Analyst Nick Ciolli at nciolli@ccao.org to request a copy.
