🎉 Congratulations to the newest inductees into the California Hall of Fame - a historic, all-female group of extraordinary women! Their groundbreaking contributions to culture, innovation and leadership continue to shape California as the epicenter of progress, creativity and resilience. Thank you for making the Golden State shine even brighter! 🌴✨ #CaliforniaHallOfFame #CAMuseum #California

Congratulations to the Sacramento Press Club's incoming board members, including #TeamLPA Vice President Daisy Castellon 🎉 ! We look forward to supporting the board’s efforts to build the next bench of journalists and foster connections within the Sacramento and Capitol Press Corps. #Journalism #SacramentoPressClub #CAPolitics

#TeamLPA hosted the Public Policy Institute of California’s board retreat, with board member and LPA President Cassandra Walker Pye delivering opening remarks for the final PPIC Speaker Series of the year, featuring former Governor Jerry Brown. LPA continues to earnestly support PPIC’s nonpartisan, data-driven research which inspires healthy conversations and policy solutions for CA’s challenges.

Yesterday was a 10! Loved gathering with my fellow California Women in Energy Board members, #TeamLPA colleagues and 100+ other women working in energy for a full-day forum focused on the technologies, policies and skillsets that will power our future. Icing on the cake was moderating the closing Power Players panel with a trio of dynamic female leaders who have made bold moves in their career journeys sharing how they did it. #cawie #womenempowered2024

Loved all the energy in Sacramento yesterday as we celebrated the start of a new legislative session and the incoming class of legislators. The morning’s Close the Gap California breakfast was especially meaningful as we gathered with friends and colleagues to mark an exciting milestone of gender parity in the California State Senate! Excited for 2025 and the important work we have to do ahead! #closethegap #caleg #thefutureisfemale #TeamLPA

#TeamLPA is honored to have helped lay the groundwork for this transformative initiative, working closely with stakeholders and policymakers to prioritize the needs of California’s older adults. Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom, Maria Shriver and those involved with the Alzheimer’s Task Force for their continued leadership and commitment to building a more inclusive, supportive California for all! 💜 #AlzheimersAwareness #OlderAdults #CaliforniaForAll

#CaliforniaWomenLead today celebrated 50 years at our Annual Conference. Three of the smartest communicators in the business joined me for a conversation around best practices, tools, messaging and messengers. Despite our age range — there was a 30-, 40-, 50- and 60-something on stage— we all agreed that: 1️⃣Authentic messengers — real people with real experiences— help brands to build trust 2️⃣We must constantly adapt language — but not our core messaging — to meet audiences where they are 3️⃣No need for the perfect picture — using visuals that are genuinely captured, not rehearsed or overly edited — resonate best 4️⃣In an era of balkanized media, podcasts are king (or, in our case, queen) Thank you Margita Thompson Sallie Poggi (she/her) Crystal Young #PowerUp
