District of Distinction
Last month, the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority got the Special District Leadership Foundation’s District of Distinction Accreditation. The district is among just 40 statewide, and just 8 districts in the Bay Area have actually accomplished this acknowledgment.
“This accreditation is designed as a way for districts to highlight their prudent fiscal practices along with other areas important to effectively operate and govern a special district and is valid for three years,” checks out the structure’s website.
To be qualified for accreditation, a district needs to initially make the structure’s District Transparency Certificate of Excellence, which enables unique districts to display their openness efforts.
