Letter from Treasurer Ma

The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) and the California Debt & Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC), whose board I chair, have sponsored the Bond Buyer’s Annual California Public Finance Conference for 19 years. It is just one way that we fulfill CDIAC’s statutory purpose of furthering the education of the public and financial officers on public financing.

The DMV Speakers Bureau offers in-person presentations on how to obtain a REAL ID driver license and identification card to groups of 40 or larger.

Beginning October 1, 2020, you will need a REAL ID driver license or identification card, or another federally compliant document to fly within the United States and enter secure federal facilities and military bases.

Request a REAL ID presentation by emailing your organization’s name, address, number of attendees, and available dates and times to DMVSpeakersBureau@dmv.ca.gov.

Dear friends,

The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) and the California Debt & Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC), whose board I chair, have sponsored the Bond Buyer’s Annual California Public Finance Conference for 19 years. It is just one way that we fulfill CDIAC’s statutory purpose of furthering the education of the public and financial officers on public financing.

This year’s pre-conference will be held on September 23 in San Francisco and I will be giving the luncheon address.

Dear friends,

Climate change threatens our quality of life, our economy, and poses material risk to our communities. Massive hurricanes, raging wildfires, bomb cyclones, and other weather catastrophes that were previously considered once-in-a-lifetime events are now occurring at an alarming rate.

The devastating effects of climate change on our communities are dramatic. Here in California, we have witnessed the historic devastation and loss of life in the Paradise fire—the intensity of which was enhanced by climate change—less than one year ago.

Meet the people in the State Treasurer’s Office whose public service inspires us and is making a difference.

Congratulations Sandra Kent, our July employee of the month!

Sandra is an analyst with the California Debt and Investment Advisory Committee’s (CDIAC) Education and Outreach Unit. In addition to acting as a clearinghouse for information, CDIAC provides education and technical assistance on debt issuance and public fund investment to local public agencies and other public finance professionals.

Looking to upgrade and achieve greater energy efficiency for a home or a business? Eager to join in global environmental efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb carbon pollution? Well, why not do both?

Here’s how you can become part of the effort to help California achieve its goal of drawing 60 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030 and 100 percent from zero-emission electric power sources by 2045.

Dear Fiona,

I recently attended one of your small business seminars and heard a presentation about the CalSavers retirement savings program. I operate a nonprofit organization. Are nonprofits required to register for the program?
