A special thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and helping our members better understand the opportunities and challenges surrounding AB 130. We appreciate Sean Matsler (Cox Castle LLC), Laurel Reimer (City of Riverside), Louisa Felletto (Meritage Homes), Konnie Dobreva (EPD Solutions, Inc.), and Benjamin Zdeba (City of Newport Beach) for leading such an insightful discussion.

With a full room in attendance, yesterday's AB 130 Education Workshop provided an in-depth look at the legislation's impact on CEQA, housing approvals, local governments, and California's development landscape. Attendees heard perspectives on early implementation efforts, how cities and counties are adapting to the new law, and what it could mean for housing production and permitting timelines moving forward.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event a success.
