In association with Assemblymembers Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) and Ted Gaines (R-Roseville), New America in California hosted this dynamic policy discussion on how public policy can encourage saving and wealth building for all Californians.

Heather McCulloch, a leader on asset-building policy issues, provided an overview on the history and evolution of policy ideas, in the United States and aboard, for expanding saving by families and individuals. Ms. McCulloch is the founder of Asset Building Strategies, a nationally recognized consulting group that provides invaluable insights in building state and local support for such policies.  An MP3 audio recording of the event is available below.

The Asset Policy Initiative of California (APIC) is a statewide network of stakeholders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors who are committed to increasing asset building opportunities for California’s working families. www.assetpolicy.org
