NTCA Board of Directors Endorsement for Cindy Gustafson, Placer County District 5 Supervisor Candidate

The North Tahoe Community Alliance Board of Directors endorses Cindy Gustafson for Placer County District 5 Supervisor. A 40+ year resident, long-time community leader and advocate for North Lake Tahoe, Cindy has deep passion for our region and is widely recognized as a “bridge builder” in our community. She is an effective communicator, an active listener to all sides of issues that affect our region, and a collaborative leader who works with all stakeholders to achieve the best outcomes on behalf of us all.

Cindy understands the economic engine of our region, the challenges and opportunities that come with it, and actively advocates for resources necessary to maintain a healthy economy, environment, and community. She has pioneered impactful initiatives including the creation of the North Lake Tahoe Tourism Business Improvement District, which has resulted in local control of how funds generated in our community are reinvested in our community. She is also responsible for leading the development and revisions of the short-term rental policy including ongoing management of STRs and utilizing resident feedback to develop and implement solutions.

Unsurprisingly, Cindy has the support and respect of other Placer County supervisors she works with. This is a testament to her integrity and ability to build consensus to get things done on behalf of our community. It also makes her unique in this role; no previous Eastern Placer County Supervisor has had the same level of support or ability to garner collective support on issues.

Cindy’s deep understanding of the priority issues in our community, tapestry of organizations, individuals, mechanisms available to collaborate with on these issues, and personal connection in the community are an unparallelled asset. Her voting record aligns with the pillars of the NTCA, and we believe she is the right person to continue leading as Placer County District 5 Supervisor.
