August, 2009

As you may have heard, I am running for a second term on the Board of Trustees at Cerritos College in the November 3 election. 

After working as a teacher in the Downey Unified School District for three years, I became an instructor at Cerritos College until my retirement in 2005.   During my time at the college I was a faculty member, Director of Disabled Student Programs and twice Interim Vice President of Student Services.  Since 1987, I was elected and re-elected to both the ABC Unified School District Board of Education and the Cerritos City Council.   I served as the President of ABCUSD and was twice Mayor of Cerritos.  In November, 2005, you elected me a Cerritos College Trustee where I now serve as the Vice President of the Board.

My forty years in education and twenty years in public office have given me the experience, contacts and ideas to continue to excel as a Trustee.    Maintaining and growing excellent programs and services in the face of enormous fiscal challenges and the advent our new President for Cerritos College, Dr. Linda Lacy, are but two of the reasons calling for seasoned, receptive and experienced Board members.

Rather than hold expensive kick-off and fund raising activities we have decided to simply send out mailings which detail my qualifications, history and interests.

Contact me at b.hughlett@verizon.net, 562-926-5003, or visit our website at www.bobhughlett.com for further information or conversation about our community college.

Please vote once again for Bob Hughlett on November 3.

Best Wishes,

Dr. Bob Hughlett
Vice-President, Board of Trustees
Cerritos College
