Salt Lake Community College is pleased to welcome Sunny Washington and Lindsay Simons to the school’s Board of Trustees. Washington will serve a four-year term replacing former board member Linda Luchetti, and Simons joins the board for a one-year term as president of SLCC’s Student Association.
Washington brings to SLCC over 20 years of experience working in the educational technology industry. She is a public policy expert in Utah’s start-up and tech community and serves as the public policy chair of Silicon Slopes Commons. She also worked for Certiport from 2001 to 2009, where she helped bring digital literacy certification programs to K-12 institutions in over 80 countries. Washington has also worked for the educational learning management system, Canvas. Since 2014 she has led her own company, called Because Learning, which distributes space experiments and STEM education curriculum to institutions around the globe. Outside of work, she is an important voice for LGBTQ civil rights and serves as a board member of Equality Utah.
“I'm thrilled to serve on the Board of Trustees at SLCC,” said Washington. “Most of my career has been focused on the education market, and I love working with administration, faculty and students. SLCC serves as an important organization for the growth of Utah's economy, and I'm honored to be a part of the board.”
Simons is SLCC’s Student Association president, a first-generation student and health sciences major. Simons is a mother of four children and a foster parent originally from Newport Beach, Calif. Her goals are to help everyone at SLCC figure out where they fit in and to highlight the student resources available at the college. She also wants to increase student involvement in on-campus activities.
“I think I can bring a unique perspective to the board as a returning student and a busy parent,” said Simons about her role as the student representative on the Board of Trustees.
