CAHF has met on a Quarterly basis for more than 20 years. Each of the meetings has a unique theme and flavor:

This meeting rotates around the state in easily accessible (airport friendly) sites to allow for maximum participation by our members. Duration, Sunday through Tuesday. Attendance is approximately 350 however in 2004, CAHF is in Anaheim at Disneyland so attendance is expected to be higher. Attendance in February is largely administrators and owners.

May is our Legislative Conference, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Sacramento, directly across the street from the State Capitol. Heavily attended, this Quarterly provides a forum for political issues as well as industry issues and provides the opportunity for our members to access their members of the Assembly, Senate and State Government. Duration, Sunday through Tuesday.
