2026 Policy Symposium

Description

Policy Symposium 2026
Legislating Tomorrow: Policy Pathways for the Future of Child Support
March 10, 2026 | One-Day Symposium

Child support systems are adapting to changing family dynamics, economic realities, and the needs of children and communities. Amidst this backdrop, CalCSA’s Policy Symposium is your chance to hear directly from the key stakeholders influencing the future of child support in California and engage in dialogue that will shape the policies that support it. 

This year’s Symposium brings together state agency leaders, policymakers, practitioners, and advocates for children and families. Attendees will benefit from information-sharing and collaborative dialogues about policy development, policy implementation, and government advocacy. 

We invite you to join us at Legislating Tomorrow: Policy Pathways for the Future of Child Support as we work to ensure all California children receive the support they deserve.
