BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, the North Central Valley Chapter of the Maintenance
Superintendents Association (MSA) selects a member in a
supervisory position in charge of services in Public Works
maintenance who has led and contributed or participated in
developing the chapter and the organization as a whole. Street Supervisor Dave Bender has
established a reputation for honesty, hard work, and fairness in his 26 years with the Street Division.
This home-grown boy has led by example in all aspects of his life and is quiet and modest about his
accomplishments.
Dave has generously given of his time and energy in furthering the purpose of MSA through education,
communication, and fellowship. Over the past 10 years, Dave has used his awareness of the MSA to
provide numerous cost-effective workshops to further the knowledge and abilities of all the
maintenance providers in the area. He has served in all capacities within the Chapter, and worked his
way up through the chairs, serving as President for 2000/2001. The North Central Valley Chapter
hosted the MSA 2002 Annual Conference in Sacramento, and Dave was integral in making it one of the
most successful ever held. His innovative leadership skills have also allowed the North Central Valley
Chapter to enjoy an aggressive and successful scholarship program.
Dave's sustained effort has resulted in furthering Lodi's reputation as a proactive, supportive, and
forward -thinking community. In addition, Dave's efforts continue in the City's long-standing tradition of
supporting involvement in professional organizations by its staff. In the case of this specific award, we
wish to acknowledge past award recipients Glen Baltzer (1986), Vern Aman (1993), Curt .furan (1995),
and George Bradley (2001).
