The events, which include breakfast, feature a range of guests speaking on hot topics in the Sacramento region in a low-key, off-the-record format that allows audience interaction.

Cabaldon is now serving his fourth term as mayor of West Sacramento and is credited with helping to bring baseball to the city and with efforts to revitalize the waterfront. He is president of EdVoice, a statewide nonprofit network of citizens and educational philanthropists fighting for public schools. He serves on the boards of the California Center for Regional Leadership, the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. In 2002, Cabaldon was appointed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to the Bay-Delta Committee which oversees implementation of the CALFED water program.

Other speakers in this year’s Breakfast Club series include California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell on Dec. 7, Sacramento Bee publisher and president Janis Heaphy on March 8, and River City Bank president-CEO Jeanne Reaves on May 3. Cabaldon’s talk is sponsored by the government chapter of the Alumni Association.

The events are free to Alumni Association members and $15 for non-members. Seating is limited. For reservations or additional information, contact the Alumni Association at (916) 278-6295.
