Praise <strong>for</strong> Diana Conti:<br />
“We give the edge to Conti. Her extensive non-pr<strong>of</strong>it <strong>leadership</strong> and fundraising experience as<br />
well as deep <strong>Marin</strong> community experience would make her a gre<strong>at</strong> addition to the Board.<br />
Additionally she appears to have a deeper understanding <strong>of</strong> current needs <strong>at</strong> the <strong>College</strong> and<br />
expresses herself in a clear and compelling manner. she is exceptionally capable and would<br />
bring useful new ideas and energy to this board.”<br />
—Editorial Board, Pacific Sun<br />
“Diana Conti... knows about the<br />
community needs and goals th<strong>at</strong><br />
face COM. she has played key<br />
<strong>leadership</strong> roles on a number <strong>of</strong><br />
local nonpr<strong>of</strong>its. she also sees<br />
a need <strong>for</strong> change.”<br />
—Editorial Board, <strong>Marin</strong> IJ<br />
For too long <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marin</strong><br />
has been mired in problems,<br />
with promises unfulfilled and<br />
some serious new funding<br />
challenges to overcome...<br />
Dear Voter,<br />
...no more playing the blues<br />
it’s <strong>time</strong> <strong>for</strong> a new tune<br />
I envision a <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marin</strong> teeming with happy students who are proud<br />
to be getting an af<strong>for</strong>dable, quality educ<strong>at</strong>ion. No more crumbling buildings,<br />
peeling paint, or condemned fields. I want to ensure COM <strong>of</strong>fers the classes<br />
students need on both campuses, and adapts to the changing needs <strong>of</strong><br />
today’s students, whether they are bound <strong>for</strong> four year colleges, getting<br />
training <strong>for</strong> good jobs, or engaged in the joy <strong>of</strong> lifelong learning.<br />
My 30 years <strong>of</strong> business experience as a nonpr<strong>of</strong>it executive, and as a parent<br />
whose children have benefitted from the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marin</strong>, give me the vision,<br />
commitment, and skills to help revitalize our community college system.<br />
Together, we can build a brighter future <strong>for</strong> all those who count on the<br />
<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marin</strong>.<br />
I would appreci<strong>at</strong>e your vote November 3rd, <strong>for</strong> the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Marin</strong> Board<br />
<strong>of</strong> Trustees.<br />
Diana Conti
