California’s Loyal Order of Dedicated Servants (CLODS)
Created by William D. McIntosh (Lassen County) in 1966, the principle purpose of the CLODS was to endeavor to keep the County Engineers from feeling too important and being too serious. Comprised of the associations’ past presidents, the CLODS can claim at least partial credit for the CLODS BBQ, Buffalo Bull Award, CEAC Memorial Scholarship, nominating committee for CEAC, and induction of CEAC Officers.
The initial officers of the CLODS were the Bull Condor, the Stud Pelican, and the Old Crow. Today, every CLOD has a bird name. With the California condor as their symbol, Bill McIntosh and Ed Hanna collaborated on a Constitution and Bylaws for the new organization in 1966.
