Welcome!

I have been honored to serve as your trustee on the Peralta Community College Board over the last four years and I am running again to continue my efforts to reform Peralta Community College District. Thanks to your early support, I do not have a challenger this year. As such, according to the rules of Alameda County, I am declared the winner. I look forward to continuing my service to keep our community colleges accountable to our community and transparent to the public. Thank you for your support!

Since 2006 I have worked hard to help make Peralta live up to its potential. While we’ve had many successes there is much more work that needs to be done. Now more than ever, during this time of economic challenges, we need to continue to make sure our institution is fair to our teachers and staff and continue to be relevant for our students.

This year I was honored that my colleagues elected me unanimously as Board President. Indeed, this is a critical time for the Peralta Colleges and we need to continue to do the work we to transform people’s lives.

I invite you to look around our website and I ask for your support to help me continue to make the changes we need to make so we can all be proud of our community colleges. With your help, I know we can continue to transform lives.
