Awards
I want to express my deep gratitude to the groups and organizations who presented me with these recognitions. I accepted all of them, and every recognition I receive as a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, on behalf of my staff, the 20,000 employees of the County of Santa Clara, and the countless Santa Clara County residents who are working tirelessly to affect change in their neighborhood, city, or field. Positive change is never the work of one person but of an entire community working together. I am so grateful to be part of this community.
