New CEOs
Susan Lamb will return to Diablo Valley College (DVC) in California to serve as its president, pending contract approval. She formerly served as vice chancellor of academic affairs at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Lamb started her career in 1991 at Contra Costa College where she served for 15 years. She came to DVC in 2006, where she served for five years as vice president of academic affairs. Lamb then served for two years as vice chancellor of academic affairs and two years as interim chancellor at CCSF.
Contra Costa College District Chancellor Fred Wood said Lamb was selected because of her understanding of both DVC and the district, having worked at both in progressively complex administrative roles. “In addition, we will benefit from her leadership experience as interim chancellor/president at City College of San Francisco where she successfully led that college through financially challenging times, the restoration of accreditation, and developed strong partnerships with the community,” he said in a press release.
