Our Mission and History
In 1972, an annual conference was established to provide training specific to welfare fraud investigations. The first attendees paying a registration fee of $3.00! Although the cost is a bit higher today, it is well worth the fee. The Annual CWFIA Conference continues to provide valuable training and essential information in the field of welfare fraud as well as other related subjects. The annual conference also provides an opportunity for networking and communicating, not only across the State of California from county to county, but across the Nation.
