Previous Seminars

General Information/Earning Continuing Education Credit

Seminar locations alternate between Northern and Southern California and are geographically dispersed to target markets where education on public debt issuance and investments are appropriate. The programs are geared towards public agency officials and their staffs responsible for or involved in the issuance of municipal bonds, the administration of bonded debt or the investment of public funds. Representatives of cities, counties, special districts, school and community college districts, redevelopment agencies, and elected officials are especially encouraged to attend. Registration is limited to public officials. No walk-in registrations are accepted. The cost for each program varies depending upon which program is being held. For more information about CDIAC's Technical Assistance Seminars, please contact CDIAC.

Some seminar participants may be eligible to earn continuing education credit for attending CDIAC seminars*:

  • Attorneys: CDIAC is an approved provider of Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit by the California State Bar. Attorneys must provide their State Bar number at the CDIAC seminar to receive a certificate of attendance.
  • County Treasurers/Tax Collectors: Under California Government Code Section 27000.8, CDIAC’s educational programs are a source for California county treasurers, tax collectors, or treasurer/tax collectors to obtain continuing education credits.
  • Accountants: The California Board of Accountancy does not preapprove or register providers of continuing education courses. CDIAC adheres to the regulations and requirements prescribed in the California Accountancy Act.
  • Certificate of Attendance: Upon request, CDIAC will provide a letter of attendance to any inquiring participant. To receive this letter, attendees must check in the first day of the program and check out at the end of the program. The letter will state the name of the program, date, location, beginning time, end time, and the number of hour(s). It is the responsibility of the attendee to submit the CDIAC letter to the certifying entity thereafter.

*Note: On the day of the seminar, participants will receive their materials (excluding Primer orders, as those will be mailed out within 7 business days upon receiving the request and payment). Each participant will be asked to sign-in on the morning of the program and if requesting a letter of attendance, to sign out at the end of the program. Upon request, a Certificate of Attendance will be mailed out after as soon as possible.

Registration Policy

CDIAC seminars are open only to public agency representatives. Because seating is limited, registration is on a first come, first serve basis and CDIAC does not reserve spaces for its seminar programs. Refunds are granted only if cancellation occurs before registration cut-off date.

The following policies also apply to CDIAC seminars:

  • Registration can be mailed in by check or in person or charged using VISA or MasterCard. Registration must be accompanied by a check or credit card payment.
  • To register on-line using a credit card, click on “Online Registration” for the seminar or conference you desire. You will be taken to a secure website where your contact and credit card information will be gathered.
  • CDIAC often has to close registration prior to the cut-off date because it reaches maximum occupancy for the conference facility. Therefore, it is advised to register early. Registration deadlines for all seminars are posted on the CDIAC website and are included in marketing materials
