Candidate Statement Region 5, Seat C Vincent Ferrante -Incumbent I currently serve on the CSDA Board of Directors as the Board Secretary and am the Chairperson on the following committees: Educational Development, Alliance Executive Council (for CSDA, SDRMA, Financial Corp.) I serve on the following committees: Fiscal, Membership Services and have served on the Legislative Committee for the past few years. In 2013 1 was appointed to the Regionalization Task Force Committee, along with five other board members and the Executive Staff, to explore ways to better serve the six CSDA regions. Our goal is to improve and find better methods to serve all Special Districts in each region and increase membership. Initializing ideas developed by the Board members and staff, we will provide more efficient and targeted service for all chapters and districts. I believe this is very important in order to make CSDA more successful. Today CSDA, along with the Special Districts, are faced with many important issues which we will be able to address with more timely and appropriate solutions. I have worked with the Advocacy Staff on the Legislative Committee to provide good interaction with our State Representatives to respond appropriately to the variety of bills which impact Special Districts. I will continue to be a liaison between CSDA, Special Districts and the Chapters in Region 5. I am well qualified for this position, having served as an elected official for Moss Landing Harbor District Board of Harbor Commissioners since 2003 and completed the CSDA Governance Academy. Between the Academy and my experience on the Moss Landing Harbor Commission, I bring experience and strong work ethic to the Board. I believe my dedication to Special Districts makes me an excellent choice to represent local government agencies' interests and needs at CSDA. Sincerely; Vincent C. Ferrante Commissioner, MLHD
