Santa Rosa County District 3 Commissioner Don Salter, who represents most of the northern portion of the county, has received a national defense award.

Salter was selected as the recipient of the Association of Defense Communities’ 2011 Defense Community Award- Active Base Community Leader.

The ADC Awards Program is a unique national program which recognizes outstanding quality projects and initiatives in communities with active and realigning or closing installations, the individuals that lead them and members from the military and private sector and recognizes outstanding achievements in the field. The program recognizes innovative plans and projects, distinguished public officials and lay contributors, and ADC members. The program is the centerpiece of ADC’s efforts to identify and promote best practices.

According to the ADC, Commissioner Salter was selected for the Active Base Community Leadership Award in recognition of his long-standing efforts in support of Northwest Florida’s military. Under his guidance, he has helped to protect Naval Air Station Whiting Field from encroachment while strengthening ties among the region’s installations, local leaders and businesses for more than 20 years.
