Campbell Union School District's Board President Juliet Tiffany-Morales was surprised during a meeting by California Assembly District 28 Assemblymember Paul Fong and Campbell Mayor Evan Low with flowers and a congratulations on being chosen as this year's "Woman of the Year" for District 28.
“Juliet has been a role model for all citizens, and women in particular, in civic leadership,” Fong said in a release. “Improving education is one of our most important challenges, and we must succeed in creating better and more educational opportunity for all. I have been impressed by how Juliet has spent her life studying methods of improving K-12 education and going the extra step to implement her studies by serving on the Campbell Union School Board.”
Tiffany-Morales has served on the district's board since 2008, is the education committee co-chair of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and was nominated by Low.
