Statement of JOY ATKINS, Candidate for Governing Board Member, Trustee Area 3 West Valley-Mission Community College District Occupation: Incumbent Education and Qualifications: As a West Valley College graduate, I fully understand student needs. I have 30 years history in the District. I was employed full-time for 16 years, part-time for 2 years and am in my 12th year as Trustee. I know where we were and how far we’ve come, and want to be a part of our continuing progress. Trustees serve as Directors of the Mission-West Valley Land Corporation, which has leased District land near Mission College that is generating an annual income stream of several million dollars. It is being used to complete Mission College, make improvements at the aging West Valley College Campus, and provide innovation funds to benefit student programs. The District now has the best administrative team, Chancellor and College Presidents I’ve ever seen. They need a supportive Board that will provide for the latest technology to give our students the best education possible. I believe my qualifications and experience will help achieve that, and I will appreciate your vote for my re-election.
