Looking back on the past year, there was no shortage of opportunities and challenges, both existing and emerging, that would enhance and threaten the vision of a sustainable quality of life for all Nevadans. As the Council marked its 20th year in 2025, we reflect on the progress made over the past year while remaining committed to the continued need for change and reform. Over the last 20 years, the cumulative advancements we have made for Nevada have not been merely finished tasks but also crucial, often celebrated turning points that validate our collective efforts and set the stage for future growth. 2025 was no different.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s state legislative session provided another opportunity for positive change. The Council partnered with Secretary of State Aguilar in support of various legislation seeking to improve the state\u2019s campaign and election system. Of the 3 bills proposed, AB73, establishing standards for the use of synthetic media in campaigns, passed. In the age of AI and fake images and likenesses, we are proud to have played a small role in supporting the trust and integrity of Nevada\u2019s campaign and election system. The Council continued its long-term investment in K-12 education improvement by seeking to grant voting authority to newly appointed CCSD Trustees. SB460, the omnibus education bill supported by Leader Cannizzaro and Governor Lombardo, passed with this provision. Providing appointed Trustees with voting authority enables a blended governance structure that we hope will foster greater thoughtfulness, sustainability, and strong leadership for the CCSD Board of Trustees. And in perhaps one of the most revealing issues of the session, the Council supported the Governor\u2019s Department of Business & Industry in proposing various reforms to the State\u2019s Boards & Commission structure, as a follow-up to the 2023 passage of the SB431 government modernization bill. SB78 was unsuccessful in passage, however its deliberations at the macro and micro level throughout the session created a greater understanding of the impact of Boards & Commissions to a state and where focused reforms are possible without changing existing structures that function well.<\/p>\n

It is my deepest honor to serve as Chairman as we celebrate the Council\u2019s 20th anniversary. In the Council\u2019s time, we have comprised 49 directors who have dedicated themselves to the cause of a Better, more Sustainable Nevada. Importantly, our impact would not have been possible without equally dedicated community collaborations with vital partners who share a common vision to protect and elevate Nevada and the people who choose to live, work, and play here. The Council knows our many successes over the past 20 years are shared, and that a Resilient Sustainable Nevada will always be a reality when we hold onto our common values, of which there are many to form agreements around those principles, and leave our differences behind. When we do, nothing will stop us.<\/p>\n
