“Randi is a springboard for positive change and community action. She not only can but will make good things happen.”

Reverend Peggy Bryan, Associate Rector St. Andrews Episcopal Church
Founding Principal Sherman Oaks Community Charter School
38-year Campbell and San Jose Evergreen Valley Community College District Resident

 

“Randi would be a terrific addition to the WVMCCD board of trustees. She has been tireless in creating collaborative ties between the community and the San Jose City College campus in our neighborhood. She’s fair, creative, dedicated, and persistent. And she knows how to work with others while getting things done. She will serve the board and the community very well!”

Anne Kearney, Board Member Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Association

 

“Randi is a grass-roots community leader who really engenders trust and respect; all for the sake of community empowerment, but also for the sake of establishing really great personal working relationships, and to be pro-active in meeting needs/goals. She’s been a pleasure to work with!”

Jimmy K. Lew, Jr. Burbank Neighborhood
