Board issues proclamations honoring Caroline Smith and local organizations
Summary
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors presented multiple proclamations on March 24, 2026, recognizing Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Caroline Smith’s retirement and honoring local commissions and nonprofits, including the Commission on the Status of Women and Girls and the San Diego County Public Defenders Office.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors used the opening portion of its March 24 meeting to present a series of proclamations honoring long-serving staff and local organizations.
Chair Tara Lawson Reamer presented a proclamation honoring Caroline Smith for roughly two decades of service in county government, citing leadership roles across departments and declaring the day in her honor. Caroline Smith accepted the recognition and thanked colleagues and county staff; she reflected on being a San Diego native and on the partnerships formed during her public‑service career.
The board also read proclamations honoring the San Diego County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls for its work on gender equity, groups recognized for Women’s History Month, Home Girls del Corazon for community-based healing work, the San Diego County Public Defenders Office (with Paul A. Rodriguez accepting), and Arts, Culture and Creativity Month. Recipients and commission representatives offered brief remarks describing their programs’ missions and community impacts.
The proclamations were primarily ceremonial recognitions; no formal policy action was taken during the presentations. The board then proceeded to outline meeting rules and to conduct a randomized selection of speakers for the non‑agenda public comment period.
