Announcing the 28th Annual Golden Watchdog Symposium Keynote Speaker & Panelists
Annual event pivoting from the past to be more policy focused with thought provoking and inspirational discussions about the community’s challenges
San Diego (October 4, 2024) --- The San Diego County Taxpayers Association® (Taxpayers) will be hosting The 28th Annual Golden Watchdog Symposium, Featuring the Golden Watchdog & Fleece Awards, on October 18th, 2024. The awards honor public agencies that demonstrate effective and efficient local governance, while the Fleece Awards call out wasteful or inefficient use of taxpayer dollars.
This year’s Goldens program marks a significant departure from the past.
Most notably, the Association has shifted this program from the spring near tax day to the fall to be right in the middle of the election season. Taxpayers will have more information to consider as they vote on candidates and issues. Additionally, the program will be in the morning, and the Association intends to create thoughtful and civil dialogue on the region’s most pressing issues through this symposium format.
