Between conventions, the State Council , to which all CFT locals may send delegates and which meets twice a year, and the Executive Council , comprising the officers of the CFT, make decisions for the organization. The four governance councils meet quarterly to share information relative to their constituencies and to formulate policy proposals for the State Council, Executive Council, and convention. CFT officers, field representatives, and staff work out of offices located in Oakland, Burbank, Sacramento, Gilroy, Ventura, Hawaiian Gardens, and Petaluma. The Sacramento office houses the CFT s legislative and lobbying operations. The CFT can be found in the more than 100 bargaining agent locals all over the state, from Lassen County in the north to San Diego in the south.
Many locals also employ their own staff.
