We were very pleased to welcome a special guest at our November Club Meeting in the form of the state's chief fiscal officer, State Controller Betty Yee.

The topic of divestiture has been one of the most frequently mentioned topics among club members, particularly since CalSTRS, the nation's second largest public pension fund, voted to divest from coal this spring. CalPERS similarly completed divesting stock in 14 coal companies this summer.

In addition to sitting on the CalSTRS and CalPERS boards, as California State Controller Betty Yee also has a significant environmental portfolio with her seat on the State Lands Commission
, and serves as Vice President of California Women Lead, a non-profit, non-partisan organization for women interested in running for political office.
