 SBCTC family and our entire system, and I appreciate any help you can provide to update him on work that occurred in his absence. He’ll return on a phased schedule (three days the first week and four days the second week) before returning full time the week
 of September 30. His contact information and office remain the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 us well during what turned out to be an extraordinarily busy summer. We will all miss his professionalism, kindness, and humility. John will remain with us for the next week to ensure a smooth transition.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 beloved family.  Julie has been an invaluable member of the SBCTC team for 23 years. She began as a temporary employee and served as WACTC coordinator for more than 10 years. I’ve been blessed to work closely with Julie over the past two years – she is the
 ultimate problem solver and has served our State Board extremely well. There is always laughter in the office when she is around. Julie possesses a remarkable institutional memory that cannot be replaced.
