RCRC Executive Vice President Patricia Megason received the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Circle of Service Award during the 2016 CSAC Annual Meeting in Riverside County last week. Given to “individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty on behalf of California counties,” Ms. Megason received the recognition for her 14 years of service to California’s rural counties in various roles with RCRC.
Ms. Megason has dedicated much of her 35-year career to public service, having served as Director of State Parks, and beginning her career as a Committee Consultant with the California Assembly. Ms. Megason will be relocating to Scottsdale, Arizona at the end of the year, where she and her husband Mike Tollefson will spend their time golfing, traveling, and embarking upon other new adventures.
