Position Papers
Current Accomplishments, Future Goals
I've enjoyed serving two terms on the Board and have been a part of the great team that has led the College District into the 21st Century. We have made significant progress in terms of increasing student enrollment, reducing costs, modernizing facilities and beginning new construction. But there is still so much more to do!
