District Chair Receives Award

On Saturday, March 22, 2014 at the California Association of Public Cemeteries (CAPC), District Chair Bill Nelson received the "Cemeterian of the Year" Award presented by CAPC Executive Director Carol Griese. He received this prestigious award for outstanding service to CAPC. This award is presented to an individual who has accepted responsibilities and performed services over and above the norm. Bill served the District for over 18 years and was very instrumental in the District's accomplishments such as being a District of Distinction and receiving the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence from the Special District Leadership Foundation. He always encoraged the District to strive to be the best, which was also reflected in the District's Financial Awards from the Government Financial Officers Association (GFOA). The District has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Reporting Award.
