The initial day featured three credit hours of continuing education for public adjusters and a briefing by lobbyist John Norwood, Esq. of Norwood Associates. He provided insight on how to prepare for meetings with legislators and their staff. Advice included best ways to convey the importance of public adjusting in the insurance claims process and offering CAPIA as a resource on issues involving property insurance matters.
 
The next morning, participants were supplied with packets including details about public adjusting, testimonials from insureds, and other materials to help legislators understand the profession. Appointments with representatives of leadership and the Senate Insurance Committee were as follows:
 

• Ron Reitz, SPPA met with James Barba, Policy Consultant for California Senate Leader Toni Atkins (seen in photo above)
