She was unanimously appointed in April and now serves on the Legislative and Public Affairs, the Budget, the Athletic Ad Hoc, the African American/Black Ad Hoc, and Gender Equity Committee. She is also chair of the API Advisory Committee. A key leadership position Kelsey currently holds is President of the El Camino College Federation of Teachers-AFT1388, representing nearly 1,000 faculty members.
Kelsey is a Los Angeles native, attended El Camino College and earned an A.A. in Sociology, her B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Education and then her M.Ed. in Counseling and Student Affairs at UCLA, and her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from USC.
- My personal and professional background and experience as a graduate of the community college system, Community College Faculty Member, Faculty Union Leader, and community activist have prepared me for this position.
- I am grateful to have been unanimously appointed to the LACCD Board this past April and have seamlessly joined the current Trustees with decision making and problem solving for the District. I value this role and am honored to be able to do the work of a Community College Trustee.
- Even though I have only been serving as Trustee to the LACCD for four months, I have already become a voting board member on the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, Athletics Ad Hoc Committee, Black/African American Ad Hoc, and Chair of the AAPI Advisory Committee. The role of trustee is definitely within my wheelhouse and I am dedicated to supporting the community college system to better serve students and the community.
