General Manager
Buckeye Water Conversation and Drainage District
In the eight years that I
have been connected with Buckeye, I have not met
many as committed to the town as Jackie Meck. A
native of Buckeye, he has proven his dedication
and love of the town through his multiple public
service commitments.
His zeal for the
town is multi-faceted and range from his love of
the school system to town history, and from
business development in Buckeye to promoting
Buckeye throughout the rest of Arizona. His
involvement with the school district includes
his time as a football and baseball coach for
Buckeye Union High School, as well as time spent
on bond committees. His passion for Buckeye and
its history has motivated Jackie to dedicate
time to Pioneer Days and the Buckeye Valley
Museum. Jackie, has also, always been supportive
of business development in Buckeye, serving as
Past President of the Buckeye Valley Chamber of
Commerce and recently serving on the Buckeye
Development Board. Some of his greatest
contributions have come through his role on the
Town Council and as the Mayor of Buckeye.
At the Buckeye
Water Conservation and Drainage District, Jackie
initiated changes that benefited the operation
of the District and the employees. He instituted
measuring devices to gauge accurately supply and
demand and created procedures to make sure
everyone received their allotted orders. For the
benefit of the employees, Jackie brought health
insurance and the Arizona State Retirement
System to the District.
I had the
benefit of working for Jackie for nearly a year
and was always impressed by his leadership, his
ability to make quick decisions, his vast number
of contacts, and the way that he encouraged and
empowered District employees. Always looking
toward the future, Jackie has positioned the
District well for years to come. I am sure that
he will do the same for the Town of Buckeye.
That is why I endorse Jackie Meck for the next
mayor of Buckeye.
