NCRA's Advocacy Day 2026 (Wednesday, June 17, 2026)

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

You are invited to join us June 17 for our 3rd annual Advocacy Day in over a decade!.

This interactive event runs from 9am - 4:30pm, including lunch and a light breakfast. Optional no-host happy hour following our legislative visits.

The 2027 program is still TBD. Example last year's event includes presentations from Joanne Brasch, Director of Advocacy and Outreach, California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) and Krystal Raynes, Policy Associate, Californians Against Waste (CAW).

Topics include legislation basics, EPR and how to lobby effectively. We’ll also go over NCRA’s priority bills for the day and “role play” practice meetings with legislators. After lunch we’ll have meetings with legislative staff members or perhaps legislators!

Visit our Legislative Tracker for a brief overview of what's on our radar.

Please also join us for CalRecycle Day if you are able! We'll be attending (and speaking at, if comfortable!) a CalRecycle meeting on Tuesday, June 16th, 10-11:30am. Other opportunities for the day may include no-host group lunch and dinner/happy hour, legislative visits for experienced advocates, remote work time, and more.

If you are interested in helping with the planning, contact Bailey Hall and Gwynn Mackellen via the website contact page.
