Marin Elects New COM Board member
UPM endorsed candidates Eva Long,
James Namnath
and
Stephanie O'Brien have won seats on the Board of
Trustees. Incumbent
Philip Kranenburg, who was opposed by the Union, retained his seat on the
Board.
The addition of Stephanie O'Brian and continued service of
Eva Long and James Namnath are viewed by UPM as the best chance for
continued success of recently hired College of Marin President David
Wain Coon. Dr. Coon has lead the District away from long-standing
antagonisms, grievances and contractual disputes that plagued the college
during the previous administration.
UPM hopes that Trustee
Kranenburg will align himself with the pro-faculty, pro-staff, pro-student
members of the board in supporting Dr. Coon as he continues to rebuild the
confidence and congeniality with his forward-looking policies and practices.
We thank those of you who supported the three College of Marin union
organizations with your vote yesterday.

IN DEFENSE OF EDUCATION
The United Professors of Marin join faculty, students and staff at all California Community Colleges, at the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC)
to defend excellence in and access to higher education across California and on our campus
 "... I think if I was a coal miner, I'd
want a union representing me to make sure that I was safe and you would not
have some of the tragedies that we've been seeing in the coal industry. If I
was a teacher, I'd want a union to make sure that the teachers' perspective
was represented as we think about shaping an education system for our
future."

Barack Obama -
