SACRAMENTO- The California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) wrapped up a very busy week that included a CSLEA board of directors meeting, affiliate board meetings, four membership classes and a membership appreciation lunch in Sacramento.

"Wednesday through Saturday was a bustle of activity at CSLEA headquarters," said CSLEA President Alan Barcelona.  "We updated our board of directors at a CSLEA  board meeting, some of our directors held their own affiliate board meetings, we had CSLEA members attend classes instructed by CSLEA  Chief Counsel Kasey Clark and four of our five attorneys,  we attended a fundraiser for Assemblymember Jim Cooper, and we wrapped up Saturday afternoon with a nice fiesta lunch at Sacramento's Coloma Park.  I would like to thank all who participated.  It is always nice to talk to our members and see them take an active role in CSLEA, their membership and their careers."
