(Stockton, CA) San Joaquin Delta College Trustee Steve Castellanos was appointed to the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Board of Directors at their recent Leadership Conference in San Diego.

Founded in 1972, the ACCT is a non-profit educational organization of governing boards, representing over 6,500 elected and appointed trustees who govern over 1,200 community, technical, and junior colleges across the U.S. The 15 member ACCT Board meets three times a year, and makes decisions that affect over 11 million students annually. Castellanos, a Valley Springs resident and current Delta College Board President, will initially serve a one year term, and then run for a three year term in 2016.

Castellanos says he will get a “unique opportunity” to network with colleagues from across the nation by joining a coast-to-coast dialogue on higher education. “I’m focused on student success and equity. Through the ACCT, I hope to help develop better boards and trustees who will act as advocates for positive, actionable policies.”

As Delta College’s Board President, Castellanos says his service with the ACCT will harvest immediate benefits for Delta’s Board. “There are so many exciting things happening across the country at community colleges. I look forward to keeping our trustees up to speed on great ideas we can examine for the Delta College.” Castellanos points out that ACCT trustee education programs encourage sharing and collaboration in support of student achievement and better governance.

Castellanos finishes, “Sharing the recipe for student success at Delta College and across the nation is my goal on the ACCT Board in the coming year.”

Steve Castellanos was first elected to Delta’s Board in 2008, representing Area 5, Northern District. Area 5 includes parts of San Joaquin County, Sacramento County and Calaveras County.
