San Manuel chairman elected community college district president
San Bernardino Community College District trustees named San Manuel Chairman James Ramos president of the district's board of trustees at its Dec. 11 meeting.
Ramos was elected to the district board in 2005, and served as vice president of the board last year. This is his first stint as board president, a one-year term.
"Community colleges are an important link to our educational systems within the state," Ramos said. "Our trustees are equally committed to continually improving our standards and providing a quality educational experience for our students. I am blessed to be teamed up with such outstanding leaders in education who serve on the board of trustees."
Ramos was the first American Indian to be elected to the district board. He is one of the founders of the California Indian Awareness Conference held annually at Cal State San Bernardino since 1999, in which about 2,000 children participate.
In other news, Carleton Lockwood Jr. was appointed vice president of the board and Donald Singer was appointed clerk.
The San Bernardino Community College District encompasses San Bernardino Valley College, Crafton Hills College, KVCR-FM/TV and the Division of Corporate and Economic Development.
