The Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce announced its 2014 Citizen of the Year, Dr. Judy D. White. Dr. White began her tenure as Superintendent for Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD) in February of 2011, and immediately began connecting with the community, ultimately moving her family to the city. With over 35 years of experience in education, she came in with a wealth of ideas and has embedded her heart and soul with the students and families in this community. She has procured several outside grants for literacy, volunteerism, and closing the achievement gap. She serves on the Board for the National Center for Urban School Transformation (NCUST), the Moreno Valley Cultural Arts Commission, ACCESS to the Future, and United Way of the Inland Valleys, and serves on the UCR Citizen's Advisory Committee for Teacher Education. She was recently awarded the 2013 Woman of the Year for Moreno Valley by the 61st District Assemblyman, José Medina. Some of her other involvements include the Optimists, Relay for Life, Music Changing Lives, and Fighting for the Family Ministries. She developed a formal Adopt-a-School program to engage the business and faith communities into the school district to support the students. Dr. White embraces a united effort of "Excellence on Purpose" and has become known as an inspirational advocate for all students. She has made a name for herself in the community for reaching out, embracing change for the better, and holding the district accountable for student success. The Chamber would like to acknowledge all those who were nominated, and thank them for their significant contribution to the growth and development of the City of Moreno Valley: Alicia Berridge, James Baker, Patricia Korzec, Ross Nakatani, Richard Tegley and Ruth Van Hala. Dr. White will be recognized at the Moreno Valley Chamber of Commerce Installation and Awards Dinner on Friday, Jan. 24, 2014.
