C.A.S.H. 33rd Annual Conference on School Facilities
Monday-Wednesday
February 20-22, 2012
Sacramento Convention Center and Hyatt Regency
This year’s conference will provide the latest about current state and federal funding opportunities, the
status and implications of new laws and regulations, industry trends, the status of school maintenance
funding programs, planning, and fiscal management in this still uncertain economic environment. The
conference will provide solutions to your challenges making it a unique experience for each attendee.
Under the leadership of Joe Dixon, Chair of the C.A.S.H. Annual Conference Planning Committee and C.A.S.H. Vice
Chair, the Committee has developed a comprehensive and timely series of topics and expert speakers. In addition to the
opportunity to sharpen and update your knowledge of key policies and programs, this conference will provide attendees
with opportunities to share information with colleagues, as well as network with key state agency representatives and
legislative staff.
This year you will notice a new look to the cover artwork for the conference. As part of the Planning Committee Process, Joe Dixon asked the committee to design a branded theme and artwork that will be used year-to-year. Several architectural firms on the committee submitted designs and the selected winning entry was provided by PJHM Architects. A special thanks to PJHM staffer, Shauna Salazar, for her creative work in providing this cover artwork.
Here are the highlights:
Lower Fees continue: As started with last year’s
conference, the rollback in fees will stay in place for
both public and private sector members. C.A.S.H.
leadership feels it is helpful to our members to continue
the reduced fees while the economic environment
remains uncertain. Fees for public sector members
will continue at 2006 prices. Fees for private sector
members continue to stay under $1,000. Even with the
continued reduction in fees, C.A.S.H. will provide the top-quality content and first-class conference to which conference attendees have been accustomed.

Monday – Wednesday Format: With the success of last year’s new format and understanding everyone’s time is limited, the conference will continue to be a three-day conference. The content on Monday will prove to be educational and entertaining. Be sure to arrive in time to attend workshops on professional development, how to present to school boards, what you and C.A.S.H. can do for each other and much more. This year, on Monday, we also added a hands-on maintenance technology session for all of the maintenance directors attending.
Clinics: This year’s conference offers six clinics that
are designed to be in-depth, hands-on learning sessions
where attendees will acquire information they can put
into immediate use in their districts and businesses.
Roundtables: Roundtable discussions are designed to offer an exchange of ideas in small, informal settings. With over 20 roundtable topics, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with experts on a wide variety of issues related to school construction.
Workshops: Over 35 workshops on school construction,
fiscal management, architecture, high performance,
maintenance and operations, state agencies, and
planning and programming issues will be presented.
Off-site Tour: In the past we have toured school sites
as part of this tour. This year, we will tour the CDE building, a Platinum LEED certified building, at 1430 N Street. The tour will take place on Wednesday,
