Reason for Interest as appointed board member of Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District
Dr. Cris Tina Spillett
I am well qualified to serve as a dedicated board member of Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District who will put the needs of the district in proper perspective to make the best organization
it can possibly be. I am uniquely qualified on several fronts. I have a PhD in chemistry, an
MBA,plus years of relevant experience in the consumer cleaning products industry. This
experience, while relevant, is not a conflict of interest. Additionally, I have a good pulse on the
communities served by CCCSD together with the business background to ensure customer needs
and regulatory requirements are balanced with costs.
I have a general understanding of the CCCSD facility and the technical expertise to understand
what is going on at a fairly detailed level if necessary. Moreover, I also have a strong business
background as well so that I have that perspective to apply to the business organization. Another
unique perspective that I provide is understanding regulatory frameworks and how they influence
organizations and can create challenges. With my background,network, and passion to build
something phenomenal I believe I would be able to help CCCSD become a cost effective world
class model.
Through the Central San Academy I learned of the current operating environment and challenges
CCCSD will be facing in the future. I would love to help ensure the organization will meet and
thrive through these challenges.
Lastly, I would love to help CCCSD get the best utilization possible of our valuable recycled
water resource to help make an impact on the climate change facing everyone. I want to utilize
my talents and help be a change agent to potentially expand the reach of recycled water and the
valuable recycling program that CCCSD provides now. As a customer and community member
I want to do my part to ensure CCCSD is poised for the future and is a strong player in keeping
our community safe and green.
