Cameron Park Community Services District Board of Directors Director Eric Aiston

A Northern California native, Eric Aiston settled in Cameron Park in the summer of 2005 with his wife and two sons. A teacher in local schools, he also served as a pastor at Church of the Foothills for nine years. Aiston has been involved with the community as a coach with Prospector Soccer for 10 years and as treasurer for the Ponderosa Choir Boosters, and he supported his sons through sports and music in the community as they have attended Rescue Elementary, Pleasant Grove Middle, and Ponderosa High schools. It was his work with Simpson University in Woodland that inspired him to get involved in local governance. “As director for the university’s regional center, I was invited into leadership circles with education and the Woodland City Council. That gave me valuable experience understanding local and regional needs and insight into long-term planning. It not only engaged me in the process but helped me see my affinity for it, both in the wide-range of issues involved and the need for skilled relationship building.” During his time on the CSD board, Aiston has served on committees and panels and says he looks forward to working with the board and staff “to steward our resources well, engage our residents and strengthen our community identity.”
