My professional background includes over 35 years of management experience in private and

not-for-profit sectors, as well as over 25 years of teaching and facilitating various groups, ranging

from top management to elementary school students.

Most recently, I worked with Sierra College and Ohlone College, where I was Dean of Workforce Development. Before that, my experience included 10 years as a training manager and consultant for several Silicon Valley organizations.

Before moving to California in 1984, I was Vice President of Educational Services for the Midwest Industrial Management Association in Chicago, an organization with a membership of over 1,000

manufacturing firms.

My education includes a B.A. from Knox College and a M.S. and a Ph.D. in Administration, Higher and

Continuing Education from the University of Illinois.

As a Board member for the Art League of Lincoln, I hope to use my skills to assist the League in

achieving its goals through planning, facilitation, community outreach and building partnerships.
