Lynne Olson, the County Emergency Services Coordinator and CESA member, nominated Cathy for this award. Cathy was selected for her award by the CESA State Board for her exemplary work in Amador County in the area of emergency preparedness including her work on the Amador Fire Safe Council (specifically the River Pines project completed June 2010), organizing and managing the Amador Animal Disaster and Evacuation Group, and her dedication to volunteerism with various groups impacting Amador County emergency management. The Gold Award is presented for exceptional efforts in the field of emergency management. It can be issued for preparedness efforts or for response to a specific event. Nominations come from the chapters and awards may be for both public and private sector nominees. Each year, CESA recognizes selected individuals and groups who have distinguished themselves while improving their community’s emergency preparedness. Cathy will attend the CESA banquet held in Monterey, California on September 16 to receive her award, which will be presented by Lynne Olson. A separate recognition will be held locally at the Amador Fire Safe Council meeting on August 18, 3 p.m., at the GSA building. This email address is being protected from spambots.
