RE: Election Region 3, Seat C
Dear Region 3 Special District,
It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the California Special Districts Association (CSDA)
Membership as Region 3 Director these past 3 years. I look forward to the opportunity to continue
to be of service. I have been active and involved in CSDA activities. I have served on the
Membership and Recruitment Committee & Fiscal Committee. I am currently chair of the Fiscal
Committee and CSDA Treasurer. I am semi - retired and I have the time, and the commitment
required to continue to serve as a director.
I have served on the board of directors for the Mt. View Sanitary District (MVSD) in Region 3 since
November of 1993. 1 have faithfully and diligently served within my local community. I am a
dedicated active board member of MVSD and have served several times as the board president.
By being an active participant at the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) and the
California Special District Association, I enhance my ability to serve in a director position. I am the
current MVSD representative to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in Contra
Costa County. Contra Costa County has a local CSDA chapter, the Contra Costa Special Districts
Association ( CCSDA) of which I have been active participant and contributor. For CCSDA I provide
Legislative updates at each meeting and I am the current Newsletter Editor.
If re- elected I would continue to provide the leadership that makes CSDA a success. I will apply my
experience, commitment and leadership to be effective, efficient, and responsive to special district
needs. Together, through continued advocacy, education, and the value -added services that
CSDA provides, we can positively affect all special districts, their operations and service to
constituents.
Please consider me for the upcoming election for Director of Region 3 where I will continue to bring
my experience and dedication to CSDA.
Thank you for your consideration,
J� K &A�
Stanley R. Caldwell
Incumbent CSDA Region 3 Director
Mt. View Sanitary District Board Member
