Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Board of Supervisors honored nine award-winning county departments focused on providing innovative programs related to health and human services from homeless outreach support to child abuse prevention. Each of the following departments were recognized during the Board meeting for awards received this year from the National Association of Counties (NAC0) and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC): • Aging and Adult Services • Behavioral Health • Children and Family Services • Housing Authority • Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency • Performance, Education and Resource Centers • Preschool Services • Public Health • Transitional Assistance “Our County departments have already been recognized on a statewide and national scale, but the Board wanted to honor them again for their hard work and commitment to the residents of San Bernardino County,” said Board Chairman James Ramos. “We are very proud of the work they do every day to improve lives and help achieve the Countywide Vision.” The CSAC Challenge Awards are part of a competitive recognition program that honors the best and most innovative among California’s 58 counties. In September, CSAC received more than 250 entries and judges awarded 40 programs throughout the state. NACo recognizes groundbreaking county government programs throughout the nation in the areas of children and youth, criminal justice, county administration, planning, information technology and health. In June, NACo recognized 46 San Bernardino County programs – the most won by any of the nation’s 3,068 counties. During the next several months, more departments will be honored by the Board of Supervisors for their NACo and CSAC wins.
