Frank E. Skacel, Sr.
Outstanding Financial Steward
Frank E. Skacel Sr. treated the District funds with as much scrutiny and care as he did his own family’s finances. For the two full decades that he served as the District’s treasurer, Frank personally reviewed each and every check that was written. Before he would authorize a check with his signature, he had to be satisfied that there was a good reason for every expenditure, and that the District had received a good value for every dollar spent. To be sure, Frank’s frugal management of District funds from 1975 to 1995 went a long way toward building the solid financial base that continues to benefit the organization even today. His 26 years of outstanding service to conservation – which also included assuming the responsibilities of District director from 1968 to 1995, and vice chairman from 1972 to 1980 earned Frank the distinction of being named as the Westmoreland Conservation District’s first and only Director Emeritus.
