San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector (ATC) Ensen Mason hosted a well-attended and informative in-person regional conference of the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors (CACTTC) on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at his headquarters building located at 268 Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino. Region 5 is composed of the 11 Southern California counties, comprising over half of California’s 40 million people and most of its economic power. Over 50 County Treasurers and Tax Collectors and their staff were registered, along with representatives of more than 20 companies and associated entities.
A virtual option was provided and 17 attended remotely; so that the total audience approximated 80 people interested in the latest developments in tax administration and safeguarding county treasuries. The attached program displays the full day’s activities, featuring geo-political risk updates, hot topics in taxes and keeping public funds safe in a volatile economy. Fifteen counties were represented at the conference including Alameda, Orange, Los Angeles, Del Norte, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Nevada, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Ventura, and Yuba.
“I’m gratified that so many of my colleagues attended and reported learning information to help them do a better job,” commented Mason. “This is the first time we hosted this conference in six years and it was better attended than last time, despite the pandemic. The networking and camaraderie with our professional colleagues really made it all worthwhile.
San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman formally opened the conference after the Presentation of the Colors flag ceremony by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Honor Guard. Supervisor Joe Baca also welcomed the group, and both Supervisors congratulated ATC Mason on hosting an outstanding conference.
