Why you should not vote for the incumbent
Lacks critical leadership experience - Her educational and professional background does not indicate the leadership experience needed to navigate Sierra College through critical decisions over the next four years.
She has been seated for 16 UNCONTESTED years - This isn't a vote of confidence; it reflects a lack of any voting for this position.
Faculty want a change - The Sierra College Faculty Association PAC does not endorse the incumbent, and they are endorsing Dennis Grossman as one who will champion a continued high-quality education experience at Sierra College.
Why Dennis is EXACTLY who we need
Well-educated - Completed 3 advanced science degrees and is a recognized national and international leader in his field.
An Educator – Taught at UC Davis, developed curriculum, improved educational processes and systems.
Senior Leadership – Served in senior leadership positions at state, national, and international organizations, managed large budgets, and led teams through collaborative decision-making processes to address complex issues.
State-Level Recognition – Appointed by Jerry Brown as CA’s Senior Advisor for Environmental Science & Policy at the Governor’s Office of Planning & Research to lead statewide efforts for economic development and regional planning.
Business Experience – Owns a small business and appreciates the important role Sierra College plays in our regional economy and quality of life.
Ready for the Future – Our economy and the job market are rapidly changing, partially due to the influence of AI. Colleges need to evolve to prepare students for success in our changing world. Sierra College will make many strategic decisions over the next 4 years, and Dennis’s experience will ensure its students are ready for this future.
