Governor Jay Inslee recently appointed Eben Pobee to the Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees for a five-year term, following the conclusion of Trustee Gidget Terpstra’s term this fall.
“Eben brings a wealth of professional and civic experience and I am so grateful for his willingness to extend his service to his community by serving on the College’s Board of Trustees,” said President Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
Pobee is employed as a finance manager with Fidelitel Telecommunications and earned an MBA from Concordia University. He is also an active volunteer with a variety of cultural and arts organizations, such as 4Culture, JHP Legacy, Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council, Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center, and the City of Shoreline. He lives in Shoreline with his wife and two children.
“It is essential that the College maintains a positive financial position to ensure we have the resources to shape the minds of future generations,” said Pobee. “There are myriad competing pressures that our College faces, and I’m committed to supporting strategic decisions that sustain the College’s mission of serving the educational, workforce, and cultural needs of our diverse students and communities.”
Pobee’s term at the College began in October 2019 and will end in September 2024. He joins three other appointed trustees: Chair Tom Lux, Douglass Jackson, and Catherine D’Ambrosio.
