JJC is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, all of whom are elected from within the seven-county college district for at-large, staggered, six-year terms. A student representative, appointed annually, is a non-voting member of the board. Current Board of Trustees members include Chair Bob Wunderlich, Vice Chair Maureen Broderick, Secretary Mike O’Connell, Patty Deiters, John (Jake) Mahalik, Alicia Morales, Dan O’Connell, and Student Trustee Alonso Rodriguez. Both Mahalik and O’Connell are seeking re-election.
