Statement from the Chairs of the Santa Clara County League of Conservation Voters on the Passing of Rod Diridon, Sr.
The Santa Clara County League of Conservation Voters mourns the passing of Rod Diridon, Sr., a visionary leader whose decades of public service transformed Silicon Valley and set a national standard for sustainable transportation and environmental stewardship.
For our organization, Rod was not only a leader but a guiding force. As Board Chair of the Santa Clara County League of Conservation Voters from 1995 to 2015, he helped shape our mission and amplify our impact at a critical time for environmental advocacy in the region. His steady leadership, deep expertise, and unwavering belief in public service strengthened our organization and inspired generations of advocates.
Rod’s commitment to sustainability was not abstract—it was personal and lived. From driving electric vehicles decades before they were commonplace to maintaining a net-positive solar home, he modeled the future he worked so hard to create.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Rod was a mentor, a colleague, and a friend to many in the environmental and public policy community. He brought integrity, humility, and a collaborative spirit to every endeavor. His legacy will continue through the systems he built, the policies he shaped, and the people he inspired.
Rod Diridon, Sr.’s life reminds us what is possible through public service grounded in vision and perseverance. We honor his extraordinary contributions and commit to carrying forward the work he so passionately advanced.
In gratitude and remembrance,
Cayce Hill and Babs Wortham SCCLCV Co-Chairs and the Board of
Santa Clara County League of Conservation Voters
