From the Summit Daily News:
The award was announced at the SDA Annual Conference which was held in Keystone, September 22-24. Bill has been instrumental in supporting policy implementation for the District which pertains specifically to the District’s water rights and future water supply. Bill supports district administrators by striving to keep water rates affordable while encouraging capital projects that increase the quality of service. When asked to share their feelings about Bill, the District staff said, “Bill is a remarkable Board member. His ability to discern a solution, render advice with inflection and simplify a problematic situation makes working with him a pleasure. Under no circumstances does Bill convey judgment or carry a personal agenda into the boardroom. Bill brings a sense of humor into any conversation which incites just the right amount of comic relief into a complex discussion. Bill leads from the wisdom he has obtained throughout a lifetime of legal and business knowledge, service to his community and personal experience.”
