Each year, this program recognizes a select group of California county officials who have demonstrated leadership and vision in their efforts to manage and mitigate expenses on behalf of the taxpayer.

“The hard work and leadership of county executives and staff has an incredible impact on local residents, especially during this time of heightened need,” said Fred Armendariz, ProcureAmerica CEO. “ProcureAmerica is proud to acknowledge their achievements, which too often go unrecognized, through our annual HERO Awards.”
