Joan moved to Winnsboro 12 years ago from California. Her professional and community experiences include:
  • Employed as Clerk of the (Transportation Authority) Board, which consisted of 14 mayors, and 5 county board of supervisors, for a period of 14 years.  As a result of this experience, she is very familiar with the Open Meeting laws and Public Information Act and aware of the many difficult decisions elected officials are faced with.
  • Appointed to the Alameda County Health Advisory Board, Human Relations Commission, and Transportation Citizens Advisory Council.
Prior to her 14 years in the above capacity, her professional career included 15 years in various educational facilities, including the University of CA, Berkeley Agricultural Economics Department, Chabot Community College, and California State University, Hayward.
Upon moving to Winnsboro, she immediately began volunteering at the local hospital, and became involved in local church and community activities.  In the past six years, Joan has served on the Winnsboro’s Economic Development Corporation Board, the WISD Facilities Committee/Political Action Committee and is in her second term as a City Council Member. Joan states that “it is her goal as a City Council Member, to be responsive to the citizens of this great city, to bring economic vitality in supporting local and new businesses, and to always be seen as an honest and trustworthy representative of our public service responsibilities”.
