As the current El Dorado Hills CSD Board President, partnered with a great board, GM and Staff, we have made amazing accomplishments over the last four years! We have more than doubled our land ownership, which means more open space preserved for our community. We've created a community collaboration committee to enhance the partnerships and communication within our community. We have fine-tuned our operations creating an efficient, community driven machine, and much more for our constituents and the betterment of our amazing community!

Community Collaboration Ad Hoc Committee Chair
With the many over-lapping partners within our Community, we felt it necessary to take the lead role in collaborating the parties together. We've met, and continue to meet with Fire, Sheriff, Rescue School Dist, Buckeye School Dist, El Dorado High School Dist, County, Senior Center, Little League, Soccer, EID, Rolling Hills CSD and more! I plan to keep this momentum going and encourage working together and maximizing resources.
