The
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) — the voice of California’s 58 counties
— would like to thank Santa Barbara County Supervisor Das Williams for his
strong leadership at the state level in the area of Health and Human Services.
Supervisor
Williams represented California’s counties for the past two years as chair of
CSAC’s Health and Human Services Policy Committee. During that period, he
worked closely with CSAC officers and the Board of Directors to review, update
and advise the County Platform that guides CSAC policy positioning on Health
and Human Services issues and legislation. Notably, Supervisor Williams played
a leadership role in steering the committee on policy decisions related to
preserving the Affordable Care Act in 2017 and more recently securing counties
a more sustainable fiscal structure for the In-Home Supportive Services program.
Supervisor
Williams continues to play an active role in CSAC representing Santa Barbara
County as a member of the Association and we are deeply appreciative of his
insightful voice and leadership.
