Best Best & Krieger (LLP) is honored to sponsor the 2025 California Association of Local Agency Formation Commission’s (CALAFCO) Annual Conference October 22–24, 2025 in San Diego. This premier event brings together Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) professionals, commissioners, and stakeholders from across California to exchange ideas, share insights, and strengthen collaboration in shaping the future of local governance.

As part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to supporting and advancing the work of LAFCOs statewide, two of BBK’s highly respected Partners, Paula de Sousa and Malathy Subramanian will present engaging, interactive sessions designed to educate, inspire, and spark conversation among participants. Paula will lead a lively session modeled after the classic $100,000 Pyramid game show putting attendees’ LAFCO knowledge to the test. From history to boundary powers, attendees will sharpen their knowledge while having fun and making connections. Malathy and fellow panelists will share the top five things every new commissioner should know, while inviting audience to also provide perspectives and input on the lessons and insights they wish they had learned early on.

With sessions ranging from foundational insights to advanced strategies, the 2025 CALAFCO Annual Conference offers innovative perspectives and resources to enhance California’s local governance landscape. Be sure to stop by BBK’s booth to learn more about how the firm can assist LAFCOs and connect with the LAFCO team.
