Three incumbent trustees, and one trustee elected for the first time, will be sworn into office on Wednesday (July 15) for new terms with the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees.

The incumbent trustees returning for new terms are Kelly G. Candaele, the current board president, along with Nancy Pearlman and Miguel Santiago.

Candaele has served on the board since first being elected in 1997, and Pearlman has served since 2001. Santiago was appointed to the board last year. He was elected this year to a two-year term for a vacated seat, while the other trustees were elected or re-elected to four-year terms.

Tina Park, a financial services auditor, will be the newest trustee. She won her seat in a runoff election in May against Angela Reddock, who served on the board for two years.

The LACCD trustee positions are elected as at-large seats covering the entire District.

The oath of office ceremony will take place at noon in the board room of the District's office at 770 Wilshire Blvd. Later in the day, the board will choose its new president and vice president.
