SACRAMENTO – The California Community Colleges Board of Governors recently honored six professionals, including Roxanne Noble from San Joaquin Delta College Athletics, as the 2020 California Community Colleges Classified Employees of the Year.

Melody Chronister, Amy Ethington, Brian Horwitz, Sandra Mills and Aaron Turner joined Noble in being recognized at the Board of Governor’s meeting last month.

“Classified professionals play a critical, but often unsung, role in helping students reach their academic and career goals, and these six exemplary employees who have impacted literally thousands of lives represent the best of the California Community Colleges,” said Board of Governors President Tom Epstein.
