| The EDH CSD recognizes |
The El Dorado Hills Community Services District (CSD) recognized Jan Wilcox, Principal of The Next Step, a local communications firm, for a recent community outreach campaign that Ms. Wilcox and her firm created and implemented for the CSD. During the March 12 Board meeting, the CSD Directors along with General Manager Wayne Lowery and Sandi Kukkola, Assistant General Manager, praised Wilcox for her efforts that have produced very positive results for the CSD and the El Dorado Hills community. Recently, the CSD was awarded the prestigious Award of Excellence from the California Parks and Recreation Society for their innovative, cost effective communication and outreach efforts. The Next Step created a strategic communications plan in collaboration with the CSD staff, Directors and residents, which will provide a community outreach "road-map" for the future. An updated logo was developed, working with local graphic artist, Lenore Wellings. More online and web-based communications were added along with an e-newsletter, The CSD Monthly, that is now sent out to over 5,000 EDH residents. "Jan and The Next Step did an outstanding job for the CSD," said Bill Vandegrift, CSD Director. "She produced visible and tangible results for us (including a 10% increase in program revenues), in a cost effective way. We have received an enthusiastic response from the EDH community and are very grateful for her efforts." |
