supported the expansion of education programs about fraud schemes
to those that may be impacted and those who investigate and
prosecute such schemes. In the CCoA’s role to monitor

we have oversight responsibilities over activities related
to the economic security of older Californians. The creation
of the Senior Summit is consistent with the goals found in
the Strategic Plan. The CCoA is pleased to be a member of the
Senior Summit’s Advisory Committee and we have rearranged

the Summit. It is our hope that organizations and individuals
