VICA presents its Leaders Forum with
Assembly Speaker :John Perez
In 2008, California Assembly Speaker John Pérez was elected to represent the 46th Assembly District. Following his graduation from UC Berkeley, he dedicated fifteen years to the labor
movement, job
creation and better wages. Because he valued vocational
opportunities for community members, he led the effort to mandate a local hire agreement requiring 30 percent of all construction jobs to be set aside for local residents while serving on the board of directors for the Los Angeles Community
Redevelopment Agency. Pérez was also on the board for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation. Proudly representing working families, he was appointed to serve on the panel for Initiative Reform. As Speaker, Pérez is making California’s budget crisis, governmental reform and job creation top priorities
Cost for the event is $50 for VICA members and $100 for non-members
