District of Distinction

Last month, the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority received the Special District Leadership Foundation’s District of Distinction Accreditation. The district is one of only 40 statewide, and only eight districts in the Bay Area have achieved this recognition.

“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,” reads the foundation’s website.

To be eligible for accreditation, a district must first earn the foundation’s District Transparency Certificate of Excellence, which allows special districts to showcase their transparency efforts.
