Jose Aparicio - Vote Nate Stice for Director of CGCC Board of Education

Our region is lucky to have Columbia Gorge Community College as an asset for our students and industry. During this May's election, Wasco County voters will have a chance to select new members to its board of directors, and I am writing to express my support for Nate Stice.

I grew up with Nate just east of here in Umatilla County, and I have always known him to be an active and engaged member of his community. It was a fun surprise to reconnect with Nate a couple of years ago at Safeway in The Dalles, a place we are both proud to call our home.

Even though I once beat Nate in a race for Student Body President of our high school, I can say without reservation that Nate will be a great board member for CGCC. He spent years working in higher education for the state's second-best university, the University of Oregon. (With the first best, of course, being my alma mater Oregon State University. Go Beavs!). I know him to be a person in our community that works to build bridges and help solve complex problems.

He will be a great addition to the already great leadership at CGCC, and I hope you'll join me in voting for him this May.
