President Roberts speaking up in Olympia and D.C.

February 5, 2015 by Leave a Comment

 

President Cheryl Roberts is carrying the message of Shoreline and all community and technical colleges to state and national decision-makers over the next few days.

On Thursday afternoon, Feb. 5, 2014, President Roberts testified before the state Senate Ways & Means Committee regarding Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2015-17 capital budget proposal, also known as Senate Bill 5097. Roberts was part of a four-person panel that will speak to the community and technical college system’s need for state investment in capital projects. Others speaking were Cascadia President Eric Murray, Peninsula President Luke Robbins and Whatcom Vice President Nate Langstraat.

“Shoreline made the capital projects list prioritized by the presidents and proposed by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges,” Roberts said before her testimony. “Unfortunately, Gov. Inslee’s proposal includes enough money to partially fund the list. We are asking the Legislature to fund the entire list as proposed by the State Board.”
