Georgia Mercer to Head Community College Trustees
TARZANA —
Georgia Mercer has been elected president of the Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees, officials said Wednesday.
She will replace Kelly Candaele, who was president for one year. The board’s vote was unanimous.
Mercer, a Tarzana resident, was appointed two years ago to fill the unexpired term of the late Kenneth Washington. In 1999 she was elected to a permanent seat on the seven-member board.
Sylvia Scott-Hayes, who was elected at the same time as Mercer, will be vice president.
