JJC is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, all of whom are elected from within the seven-county college district for at-large, staggered, six-year terms. A student representative, appointed annually, is a non-voting member of the board. Current Board of Trustees members include Chair Bob Wunderlich, Vice Chair Maureen Broderick, Secretary John (Jake) Mahalik, Nancy Garcia Guillen, Alicia Morales, Dan O’Connell, Betty Washington, and Student Trustee Ian Wilkinson. Broderick is seeking re-election. Chairman Wunderlich, after serving 44 years on the board, is not seeking another term.

More information about the JJC Board of Trustees, including scheduled meeting dates and agendas, is available on the BOT web page.
