Jim Rydingsword has been the Director of the Contra Costa County
Social Services Department since 1987; and now after five years
with the county and a lifetime of social service work, he is
retiring.
Jim has been a strong proponent in uniting with other county
departments to provide services to improve the quality of life for
the residents of Contra Costa (i.e. Living Free, Family
Preservation, and homeless shelters) . He has also worked with
other county and state officials to increase Title IV-E funding for
family-centered services.
During Jim's directorship, there has been an increase in line staff
in the district offices providing services to the county
population. He was able to bring the Department into the 1990' s by
expanding computerized programs to aid staff in providing services.
Jim has also advocated within the Department and the county the
development of opportunities in training and career development for
every employee.
We are very appreciative of Jim' s excellent leadership during these
tough economic times. His presence and input will be sincerely
missed, and we wish him well as he embarks on this new phase of
life.
