State Leaders Build Support for CPA Annual Dinner

CPA’s relationship with progressive legislators in the states is the lynchpin of its work and the foundation for its organization-building strategy. This year’s Annual Awards Dinner, to be held June 24 in Washington, DC, is no exception.

State Captains, working with Dinner Committee Co-chairs Donna Callejon, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Fannie Mae, and Wisconsin state Rep. Antonio Riley, are spearheading the effort to build support for CPA’s Annual Dinner with public and private sector partners in their home states. Their work is creating a stronger network of progressive leaders across the states.

Our thanks to the 1999 state table captains:
