SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The San Diego Association of Governments’ board unanimously elected its new chair Friday, elevating current Vice-Chair and Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear to the regional transportation planning agency’s top spot.
Blakespear will begin her new role on Jan. 1 and will serve for two years. The election for the position of vice-chair will be conducted at a future meeting.
“I am humbled by the kind words said today by the board members and the speakers, and I will strive to the best of my ability to live up to expectations,” said Blakespear following the vote.
“SANDAG is a vital forum for our local leaders to come together to make regional decisions about where people live, how they travel, and how we sustain the environment now and in the future. Being unanimously chosen by my elected peers to chair this organization is a true honor,” she said.
