This information is provided by the candidate

Dear Friend, Neighbors and Voters:

  • As the father of four children, ages 7 through 17, (two of whom are in the Novato school system) and a Community College graduate, I know that a quality, affordable, education is key to success. My experience as a Deputy District Attorney and a youth mentor has shown me how helping young people achieve educational goals makes a difference not only to them, but to the entire community.

  • I'm committed to a WHOLE College serving the WHOLE community: Emeritus, Vocational Training, Community Ed and of course our university-boung youth. Both the Kentfield and Indian Valley Campuses should attract Marin's high school graduates. Currently, many of our students travel north to Santa Rosa Junior College. I am committed to seeing that College of Marin attract Marin's youth by providing a quality and complete educational opportunity and experience.

  • I pledge to bring the Community's voice to OUR Community College. Your vote is important to us bringing a new, diverse and fresh perspective to the College Board. Vote OTIS BRUCE for College Trustee on November 2!

Otis

As Your Trustee, I will:

  • INVOLVE the community in decisions affecting the future of the College, particularly Indian Valley Campus;

  • INCREASE outreach to every Marin County high school student to insure increased enrollment in the 21st century;

  • IMPROVE programs for full-time students, whether University bound, A.A. candidates or Vocational Tech;

  • INITIATE collaborative efforts between the college and community and business leaders;

  • INSURE fical accountability at every level by increasing enrollment and minimizing costs.

"OTIS BRUCE is the best candidate to lead our College into the 21st Century. He really cares about our youth and protecting our community resources." HOWARD SCHOOF, outgoing Marin Community College Trustee, former Novato City Councilman.
