At the 2016 November California Association of Resource Conservation Districts (CARCD) Conference, IERCD Board President Paul Williams accepted the Association's annual Service Award presented to the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District.  The award was in recognition of the contribution by  IERCD Board and staff to the success of the annual conference, and presented to President Williams by CARCD Executive Director Karen Buhr and CARCD Board President Glenn Franklin.  CARCD is an incredibly important IERCD partner and District Board and staff felt incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to partner on such a successful event.
