sonoma chapter logoOn April 8, the CSDA Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve an affiliation agreement with the Sonoma County Special Districts Association (SCSDA). SCSDA was established by district representatives who came together starting in 2021 to discuss the benefits of forming a local chapter. The purpose of the chapter will be to provide a space for networking with fellow districts and local leaders, a forum to discuss state and regional issues, and a setting to foster governance best practices.

 

The new chapter joins six current local CSDA affiliated special district chapters in CSDA's Bay Area Network, representing Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Marin, Santa Clara, and Solano Counties, as well as twenty-four chapters statewide.

 

Affiliation with CSDA gives the chapter access to a variety of new services. Benefits include connection to top notch speakers, professional development trainings, communication platforms, and regular updates on legislation and advocacy programs in Sacramento and through the National Special Districts Coalition in D.C.

 

Upon learning the good news, the SCSDA Chapter President Ramona Faith remarked, “The executive board and I are excited that CSDA approved our affiliation. We are eager to work with CSDA staff to provide training opportunities and communication resources for special districts within Sonoma County.”


The first meeting for the Sonoma County Special Districts Association will be held virtually on Thursday, June 23, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
