Meet the Board
The California Exposition & State Fair (CE&SF) is an independent state
agency established by law and governed primarily by the
California Department of Food and Agriculture codes. Governed by an
appointed Board of Directors, daily operations are managed by a permanent staff
of 100. During the State Fair more than 2,000 temporary employees are hired for
the event's duration. The CE&SF is a self-sufficient operation receiving no
