This prestigious award is bestowed upon individuals who exhibit outstanding leadership and dedication as volunteers in their communities. The resolution highlights Rivera's significant contributions as the county clerk for Cameron County and his impactful leadership roles in various civic associations.

Contention

As such, it reflects bipartisan appreciation for public service and encourages continued volunteerism in local communities.
