During the week of July 8, the Saddleback College Police department hosted a comprehensive CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training to empower staff with vital emergency preparedness and response skills. Over several days, participants learned about disaster preparedness, fire safety, basic first aid, search and rescue operations, and disaster psychology. The training concluded with a hands-on disaster simulation, allowing participants to apply their newly acquired skills in a realistic scenario. Trainings such as these, strengthen our resilience and ensures we are better equipped to handle emergencies and protect one another on and off campus. #CommunitCollege #Safety #DisasterPreparednessandAwareness #CERT

Thrilled to see our Board President Tim Jemal on a panel representing the government sector alongside Dr. Nery of Rancho Santiago Community College District in a discussion about impact in Orange County. Well done! #orangecounty #impact #government #communitycolleges #highereducation
CEO, nonprofit expert, start-up expertise, mission-driven, higher education leader, aspiring screenwriter
Today, I was honored to participate with Dr. Annebelle Nery, President of Santa Ana College, in a summit, focused on leadership, nonprofit organizations and education. Excellent discussion that featured honest conversations about remote work, access to capital, management and the future of education. Many thanks to David Elliott and Shawn Wehan for spearheading this event! These three pillars have been part of my life for nearly 35 years. Yes, 35 years. As some of you know, I serve as President of the Board of Trustees for the South Orange County Community College District, which represents two exceptional institutions of higher education, Irvine Valley College and Saddleback College. I sought to become a Trustee on the South Orange County Community College District Board because I believe in the power of education to change lives, break down barriers, give students a second chance and create opportunities for success. The positive results at these two amazing colleges confirm this belief. I was 23 when I first led as President a nonprofit organization focused on education - the Michigan State University Alumni Association of Washington, D.C. I was so proud that we started a scholarship program during my tenure for students in need to attend my alma mater. Over the years I have led or advised dozens of nonprofit organizations nationally, internationally and regionally, including NAIOP SoCal and GlobalARM USA. The power of nonprofit organizations is immense. The impact of joining something greater than yourself has both professional and personal benefits. Many of you know this and are already engaged in a range of nonprofit and community organizations I would be happy to speak with anyone about engaging further in the community and becoming part of a nonprofit or community organization you are passionate about. I am confident it will enrich your life and make you a better professional, entrepreneur and leader.
