Jim Haynes, executive head of
Adapted Physical Education
Haynes—a great contributor to De Anza, the district and classified
staff—provides the necessary flexibility within his department to
allow staff members to be involved in participatory governance. When considering
the time donated by Larry Bloom and Phyllis
Garrison as past presidents, Haynes supported six consecutive years
of major Classified Senate involvement by his staff. Members of his staff
also have been involved in other activities, such as serving in union
negotiations and on miscellaneous committees.
Judy Miner, interim president
The Classified Senate appreciated Dr. Miner’s open door policy during
her year as interim president and has been aware of her support in minimizing
layoffs of classified staff. Throughout the year, Dr. Miner participated
in classified staff activities and at those events contributed her own
special talent and creativity. Her efforts have been a morale booster
for classified staff.
Kathy Plum, mathematics instructor
Plum was incredibly supportive of the Classified Senate during her years
as president of the Academic Senate. She was committed to attending the
Classified Senate meetings on a regular basis and took the opportunity
to share her own perspectives about college issues. Plum consistently
demonstrates her respect and value toward the classified staff. When she
stepped down from her own senate leadership role, she returned to the
Classified Senate one more time to give out her own specially designed
needlecraft work to each senator.
