Editor,

I’m voting for Dave Mandelkern for re-election to the San Mateo County Community College District Board. I’ve known Dave for many years, and I think he is extraordinarily well qualified to serve as our community college trustee. He’s got proven leadership and management skills from his successful Silicon Valley business career. During Dave’s 12 years on the college board, our three local community colleges (Cañada College, College of San Mateo and Skyline College) have worked very efficiently and effectively, which is amazing given the huge budget cuts that our schools have faced in recent years. Dave has the proven experience of balancing the district’s $130 million budget year after year, as well as managing the district’s capital improvement program that has revitalized all three campuses.
