  what is best for our students.

  challenge the norm, her only demand is fair and
  reasonable participation.

  colleges.

Carter Doran Award

• She is a caring leader and it is evidenced in the
  loyalty that she inspires in those who work for
  her.
• She has left an indelible mark on the students
  she has taught, the faculty colleagues with whom
  she has taught, the executives with whom she has
  served, the administrative teams she has led, and
  on our California community college system for
  which she has been a tireless advocate.
• She captured the hearts and minds of all with
  whom she worked very simply by being herself -
  forthright, trustworthy, and bringing resources
  to bear to create an environment in which all
  felt respected and could do their best and most
  creative work.
• Her strong leadership has helped colleges mired
  in campus-wide turmoil, contributed to our
  success as an organization, and resulted in the
  basic skills initiative.
