Welcome to another edition of Forum Magazine. As always, we aim to provide a mix of articles to help you learn something new, approach your practice from a different angle, or simply get to know more of your colleagues. For our September/October 2026 issue, we focus on “Technology’s Effect on Advocacy.” You will find practical articles with tips and tricks leveraging technology. You will also find articles presenting challenges and dilemmas technology introduces to consumer advocacy. Both perspectives offer a look into what it means to advocate in 2026 and beyond. In addition to our themed articles, take the time to read messages from Nancy Peverini, Legislative Director, Roger Dreyer , PAC Board Chair, and Natalie Robertson , Grassroots Manager. They provide a fantastic look into CAOC’s legislative, political, and grassroots efforts and needs. As we inch closer to the 65 Annual Convention, this edition also features the penultimate President’s Message from Doug Saeltzer and reports from our committee chairs. It is a bittersweet time at CAOC as we prepare to pass the gavel and usher in new leadership across our executive committee, board of directors, and committee chairs. th It’s also a busy time. As I am writing this, Governor Newsom is signing bills (including CAOC-sponsored bills). Teams are actively phone banking to spread awareness on pro-consumer, CAOC-endorsed candidates as we head to election season. Membership teams are helping us get closer to our 5,000 goal, and we are on track to break another Convention attendance record. If you would like to get more involved and help, reach out to member@caoc.org. Our team is here for you.
