CALAFCO has provided the background information and the forms for Achievement Award nominations to each LAFCo in the state. During the awards banquet at the Annual Conference, CALAFCO recognizes outstanding achievements by dedicated and committed individuals and organizations that go above and beyond in their work to advance the principles and goals of Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg (CKH), LAFCo and CALAFCO.

The program recently underwent a comprehensive review and update. There are now eight award categories (instead of the previous 11). The attachment gives a detailed description of each category and a listing of past CALAFCO Achievement Award recipients through 1997.
