CSAC elected a new slate of officers at its Annual Meeting in Riverside County, swearing in Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson as President, Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez as First Vice President and Humboldt County Supervisor Virginia Bass as Second Vice President. Amador County Supervisor Richard Forster, CSAC’s 2016 President, will serve as Immediate Past President.

“CSAC is incredibly fortunate to have a talented cadre of local leaders who are willing to step up and serve on our officer team,” said CSAC Executive Director Matt Cate. “Their history of effective public service and their experience, vision, and credibility will help us make sure that California county priorities remain important to state and federal policymakers. I am looking forward to working with them in Sacramento and in Washington, D.C. on a variety of issues that impact California’s 58 counties and the people we serve.”
