TESTIMONIALS FROM COLLEAGUES

“Capitol Seminars delivers high quality, informative insights into the various levels of California government. I was pleased with the speakers’ presentations and appreciated them sharing the breadth and depth of their experiences. I have applied these learnings directly to my legislative outreach efforts and my advocacy work before regulators. Thank you for providing such a valuable service.”– Maheen Cook

Maheen Cook has served as Legislative Counsel to a member of Congress, and more recently as General Counsel to a California-based national trade association.

"No one else covers the legislative process and legislative advocacy, or for that matter the entire spectrum of governmental advocacy, with the breadth, depth and inside insights offered by Ray LeBov and Capitol Seminars. "I especially appreciate Ray's behind-the-scenes advice particular to Sacramento. We know that our legislators in Sacramento care about our issues, and Ray has helped us communicate our issues to our legislators"

Salena Copeland, executive director, Legal Aid Association of California

"I wanted to learn about the nuances or the "behind-the-scenes" way the legislature actually works. I had read all the generic, glossed-over descriptions of the CA legislative process. I liked learning from folks who are real practitioners."
