4CS Board Bios

Carmen Anthony (Tony) Novelli III
North 1 Area Representative

Marketing & Community Relations Specialist
Mendocino College

I have been the Marketing and Community Relations Specialist for Mendocino College for about 5 years. I was a student for varying lengths of time at 3 different community colleges. I have more than 30 years of experience doing graphic design, illustration, desktop publishing and photography. I have also been employed in environmental technology development, city government helping create sustainability policy, and in the financial markets long ago in Chicago.

Since joining Mendocino College, I became interested in workplace and policy issues that affected everyone, from students to fellow workers to faculty and administration. I chose the Classified Senate to focus my energies as it was involved in professional development and representing our members in participatory governance.

During my terms as Vice-President, President, past-President and now 4CS Board member I have helped in reaching out beyond our district to the wealth of resources represented by the family of Classified workers and Senate leaders statewide. It is a constantly rewarding process of learning new things among so dedicated a group of employees, all holding student success as our highest goal.
