Meet CSAC President, Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson
Please allow me a few minutes of your time to say “thank you” for putting your faith and trust in me to lead CSAC for the year. I am grateful, humbled and energized to lead this organization. In county government, every year offers challenges that must be overcome as well as opportunities to make life in California better for the people we serve. I am looking forward to working on behalf of a larger constituency this year.
I recognize my good fortune in coming to this office on the heels of our Immediate Past President, Amador County Supervisor Richard Forster. Under his leadership, and that of his predecessors, CSAC ‘s reputation as a respected and effective advocate for California’s 58 counties has only been enhanced. I am grateful to them for what they have already accomplished, and I know I can rely on them for their continued advocacy and good counsel.
I also look forward to working closely with the people that are really at the heart of our association—CSAC’s executive leadership and staff. Their effort on behalf of California Counties helps ensure we have the resources we need to accomplish the critical work we do and also helps individual counties maintain the autonomy and local control we need to make the best decisions on behalf of our diverse populations.
