formerly known as the Santa Clara County Democratic Club (SCCDC)
SVDC Distinguished Service Award for William Barrett
This award pays tribute to the outstanding contribution that Bill Barrett has made to the SVDC and its predecessor (The Santa Clara County Democratic Club) over the last several years. As a lifelong Democrat, Bill has provided wisdom and advice to the club during his tenure as Treasurer of the club. He brought to the club the vigor of a young man and the perspective of a seasoned veteran. As a retired professor of engineering at SJSU, Bill had the experience of working in a complex working environment with multiple functions making him well suited to a variety of roles within the club. When the club needed a new club treasurer, Bill stepped up and performed the function without any hesitation and ran an exceptional treasury. Bill was always available to meet the club needs and expenses, gave us accurate reports and, more important, was always available to meet tight deadlines without hesitation. He made collecting money easy and user friendly and was quick to reimburse for legitimate expenses. Reports are always ready and warnings were given when we were running low on funds. He kept a disciplined set of books. More important, Bill was the sage of the club, and provided insight and guidance to the club initiatives and direction. He gave his support to new initiatives and backed them with proper caution an good advise. We were lucky to have Bill for his dedication, diligence, care, and providing the pulse to keep the club functioning. Thank you Bill, and good luck on your next challenge. We do miss you already. | Silicon Valley Democratic ClubFormerly known as the the Santa Clara County Democratic Club, the Silicon Valley Democratic Club (SVDC) is one of the oldest Democratic Clubs in Santa Clara County.
