Meeting Structure / Bagley Keene Considerations
Meetings will be public in accordance with the Bagley Keene Act for Open Meetings.
Meetings will be held virtually in order to accommodate the needs and schedules of producers, especially during the summer months.
Agenda and meeting materials will be posted 10 days before the date of the meeting, in English and Spanish. Meeting notes will be posted within 7 days after the meeting, also in English and Spanish.
Translation of written materials will be provided to accommodate for members who do not speak English. This will ensure that committee members can participate fully. CDFA will work individually with committee members to understand and accommodate language needs.
Applications to the BIPOC Producer Advisory Committee are currently CLOSED.
For future open positions to the BIPOC Producer Advisory Committee and all other CDFA's Boards and Commissions, please subscribe to receive press releases and notifications from CDFA's Public Affairs Office.
