San Lorenzo, CA — At its April 21, 2015 public meeting, the Oro Loma Sanitary District Board unanimously voted to appoint Mr. Dan Walters to the vacant seat. Director Walters, who took the oath of office and assumed his responsibilities at the meeting, fills the vacancy generated by a recent retirement on the Board. His term in office will expire in December 2016, after the general election.
Director Walters has over 30 years of engineering, innovation and business management experience in the community. He is the owner and founder of Copper Harbor Company, Inc., located in San Leandro. He has dedicated thousands of hours to organizations like the East Bay Regional Park District Public Advisory Committee, the Boy Scouts, various City committees in San Leandro, the Chamber of Commerce, LINKS, and the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board. Director Walters possesses a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Pepperdine University.
“I want to be part of this Board because I would enjoy the work, and I have a strong desire to give back to the community,” Director Walters said in his speech to the Board and to the public.
“Our recruitment process brought out several talented community leaders and experienced business people. We ultimately selected Dan Walters because of his community involvement, technical expertise, and proven success in the industry while operating his own local business. His background and professional attributes align well with our philosophy and the challenges we face in the coming years,” said President Becker.
