This week, RCRC Board Chair and Nevada County Supervisor Dan Miller hosted the June 2022 RCRC Board of Directors meeting in Nevada County. The two-day event included the RCRC Board of Directors meeting in historic downtown Grass Valley, and tours of the North Star Mining Museum and CAL FIRE Air Attack Base.  

During their visit, rural leaders were also taken on tours displaying the history of Nevada County’s mining industry at the North Star Mining Museum and showcasing wildfire prevention and defense resources at the CAL FIRE Air Attack Base. The base is a critical source of wildfire defense in the County, housing a fleet of aircrafts owned and operated by CAL FIRE to bolster firefighting efforts, particularly across challenging and hard to reach terrain in the region.   

As is an organizational tradition, the RCRC Chair hosts a Board of Directors meeting in their county during their tenure. The June RCRC Board of Directors meeting brought over 35 elected Supervisors and rural county leaders to Nevada County.  

RCRC thanks the County of Nevada for hosting our rural leaders and to the Nevada County Historical Society and CAL FIRE for their assistance in making this an enjoyable and memorable event!
