Kudos Offered For Chiesa

Dear Editor,

The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) – the voice of California’s 58 Counties – would like to thank Stanislaus County Supervisor Vito Chiesa for his strong leadership at the state level in the area of Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources (AENR). Supervisor Chiesa represented California’s Counties for the past year as Chair of CSAC’s AENR Policy Committee.

As Chair, Supervisor Chiesa worked closely with CSAC Officers and the Board of Directors to review, update and advise the County Platform that guides CSAC policy positioning on issues and legislation related to environmental policies, climate and resiliency as well as utility liability. Supervisor Chiesa never missed a meeting; even working from the front seat of his tractor-trailer during walnut harvest to make sure our committee continued its work.

Supervisor Chiesa continues to play an active role representing Stanislaus County as a CSAC Board Member. We appreciate his strong, insightful voice and service to the County Family.

Graham Knaus,

Executive Director

California State Association of Counties
