he San Bernardino Community College Board of District Trustees voted unanimously to appoint Joseph Williams as board president at its reorganization meeting on December 8. The SBCCD Trustees oversee San Bernardino Valley College, Crafton Hills College, the Economic Development & Corporate Training division and KVCR, the region’s National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television station. Williams succeeds former John Assemblymember Longville as president and will be joined by Gloria Macías Harrison who will serve for the next year as vice president and Donna Ferracone as clerk. “As a proud product of the San Bernardino Community College District, I am immensely honored to serve as Board President and help open doors of opportunity for our next generation,” said Williams. “I am looking forward to working as a team with my colleagues on the board and Chancellor Bruce Baron to continue focusing on the success of our 25,000 students and faithfully stewarding the resources entrusted to us by the public.” Williams was appointed to the board in 2013 to fill a vacancy and in 2014 he was elected to a four-year term representing SBCCD Area 2 which includes Rialto, and the unincorporated area of Muscoy. He is CEO of the Youth Action Project and was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to serve on the California Workforce Investment Board. Williams earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Redlands and received a certificate in nanotechnology from the San Bernardino Community College District’s Applied Technology Training Center.
