SJECCD Fills Vacancy on Board of Trustees
(San José, Calif.) — During its regular meeting on June 21, the San José – Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) board of trustees appointed Mr. Tony Alexander to fill a vacancy on the board. Trustee Area 3, which represents areas of east and north San José, was made vacant earlier this year when long-serving trustee Craig Mann stepped down.
Alexander is appointed to represent Area 3 on the board of trustees until the next regularly scheduled election for governing board members, which will take place November 8, 2022.
"I'm very pleased that we had a number of strong candidates to consider, all of whom have exhibited strong leadership and a history of community service," said SJECCD Board President Bob Livengood. "Tony is extremely qualified and will be an outstanding representative for Area 3."
Alexander has a long history of involvement with numerous community organizations, including leadership roles with the San José/Silicon Valley NAACP, African American Community Service Agency, San José Conservation Corps, and South Bay Labor Council, among others. He has also previously held elected office as a member of the board of trustees of Alum Rock Union School District.
Alexander was sworn in during the meeting on June 21 and will fully participate during board's next regularly scheduled meeting on July 12.
