I have been a very active CSDA Board Member with attendance at every Annual Conference and every CSDA Legislation Day since I was elected to the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District. I have served CSDA in many leadership positions. They include the Membership Committee, the Local Chapter Committee, the Conference Committee, the Budget/Finance Committee, Elections/Bylaws Committee, the Education Committee and the CSDA Executive Committee which included two terms as CSDA President. In Contra Costa County, I am an active and effective leader. The Pleasant Hill community has elected me their school board member (1980-1987), their city council member (1987- 1995) and a trustee to the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District (1996-current). "As your Director from Region 3, I will continue to work hard for you. Together we will continue to educate Sacramento on the value and importance of Special Districts." You may contact me bye-mail atsherrysterrett@att.net Please vote for me, Sherry Sterrett. Candidate for CSDA Board of Directors Region 3, Seat B Kathryn Slater-Carter As a board member I can bring my experience as a long-term Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) board member, past president of the San Mateo County Special District Association Chapter, franchise business owner, and treasurer of the S01cj3 Pacifica School Volunteers Board (PSV) to benefit the statewide CSDA. I know a board member works as part of the team consisting of the organizational members, district executive director and staff and governing board. I have leadership, teambuilding and critical thinking skills. As president of MWSD I led the district accomplishing the community initiated task of making the privately owned water district a part of our sanitary district by passing a $19,000,000 bond and acquisition effort. As a franchise business owner I was treasurer in charge of a $12,000,000 budget; as PSV treasurer I have overseen a very modest budget. If elected to the board of directors I pledge to make CSDA even more important to special districts through its excellent staff and ongoing lobbying efforts, educational programs, and financial alliances. I would like to see CSDA investigate working with high school district or community college boards to institute classes to educate special district employees. Thank you for your time, Please vote to elect me to the CSDA governing board.
