Alex Keledjian and his supporters gathered on Sunday in La Cañada Flintridge to kick off his campaign for Pasadena City College Board of Trustees.
“I am running for Pasadena City College Board of Trustees in order to help create a new generation of student leaders. I will combine my first-hand knowledge of student concerns with my willingness to embrace innovation to bring positive change to the campus, said Keledjian. “Seeing all these supporters here today merely confirms that our community is ready for the Millennial generation to lead their college into the 21st century.”
The packed house at Kobeissi Properties in La Cañada Flintridge included over 50 guests that pledged their support for Keledjian’s PCC Board of Trustees campaign. The evening’s guest list was comprised of friends and local community leaders. The turnout showed the strong support that Keledjian is receiving for his campaign.
