SAGINAW COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Presented by Commissioners Bartels, Basil and Collison
Recorded in the Minutes of the June 26, 2001 Session
Commissioner Basil addressed the Board: "Every year during
Michigan Week, the Department of State recognizes outstanding
Community Achievements and Outstanding Volunteer Leaders. This
year, one of the Outstanding Volunteer Leaders in the State of
Michigan is Dr. Eric Gilbertson, President of Saginaw Valley State
University. Dr. Gilbertson was nominated by Saginaw County for his
brainchild, the Crime Prevention Program, and his tireless efforts
to achieve the Crime Prevention Program's goal of making Saginaw
County the safest community of its size in the United States by
the year 2003. The Crime Prevention Program, which Dr. Gilbertson
initiated, not only has made a huge difference in preventing crime
in Saginaw County, but is now the acknowledged model for other
Michigan communities in their efforts to deter and prevent crime.
I have the honor and privilege of presenting this award to Dr.
Eric Gilbertson, President of Saginaw Valley State University."
Dr. Eric Gilbertson accepted the Award.
