THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Program updates include a "Direct Marketing Stakeholder Working Group Facilitator Quote Update," suggesting CDFA is seeking or reviewing quotes for a facilitator. This points to a near-term need for professional facilitation services to support direct marketing stakeholder engagement. Consulting firms specializing in agriculture, stakeholder engagement, or regulatory policy should monitor for a formal selection or additional quotes and be ready to offer facilitation and meeting design support.

Background

The term "quote update" implies informal or early-stage pricing discussions rather than a fully public RFP.
