Happy Memorial Day, today we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country; including many within our own communities and industry. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten. We encourage everyone to pause, reflect, and show gratitude to the heroes and military families whose sacrifices have helped shape and protect our nation.

Thank you for all that you do both at home, in our communities, and beyond. Wishing you a joyful, relaxing, and love-filled Mother’s Day surrounded by those who matter most. 💐

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at CAA!

We were honored to join Assemblymember Juan Carrillo to give evidence at the Assembly Communications and Conveyance Committee this week.
