Board Members

President Janet Parker	I have been employed at GHC College for 13 years. This is my second opportunity to serve as President of the SDTC Board. I received my degree at Skagit Valley College in Parks Operation and Maintenance. GHC is a great place to work! We have a very supportive, diverse group of classified staff, where there's never a dull moment! I have kindled some awesome friendships here at GHC. And together, we have enjoyed many state conferences with priceless training opportunities. Without the SDTC, these opportunities probably wouldn't have taken place. I am very thankful for the memories and look forward to many more~
Vice President Phil Darrin	I have been working as the Assistant Carpentry Instructor for GHC since Oct. 2007. I graduated from the Carpentry program in 2000 and went right to work as a Contractor for a year. I then worked for 7 years at Westport Shipyard as a finish carpenter and then as a joinery designer before coming to work here. I have also work for Habitat for Humanity of GH as their project manager. Besides carpentry I am an assistant Scout Master for Boy Scout troop 100 out of Hoquiam. I am a dedicated father of 3 great kids who take up most of my spare time. My wife and I are both native Harborites and met here at GHC. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, hiking, gardening, and of course woodworking.
Secretary Jeannette Green	I have worked at Grays Harbor College since 2006. Prior to that, I worked at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (K-12) in Olympia so it was quite fitting to move into higher education. I enjoy my time serving on this committee, as it supports employees who want to better themselves, work environment, and community. I am a current student at The Evergreen State College working towards my BA degree of Liberal Arts. I have an amazing husband and two children.
Treasurer Rose Pendergast	I've worked at GHC in Institutional Research since November 2010. I received my BFA in Theatre Arts from Drake University ("a many years ago") and since then my career path has meandered hither and thither. Along the way I picked up skills for data crunching and was lucky enough to be hired here at GHC. In my free time my interests include (but are not limited to and not always in this order) gardening, bicycling, birding, and opera. I live with my fly fishing husband and three (way too many) cats.
Communications Coordinator Sarah Alvarez	I am a proud graduate of GHC and I obtained my BA in communication studies from Randolph-Macon Woman's College. I've been working at Grays Harbor College for five years, two as an assistant women's basketball coach and the past three years in media services. I feel blessed to have such amazing and supportive coworkers, and I look forward to contributing to the campus community through the SDTC. Outside of work, I am an avid Seattle Storm fan, a guitar-pickin' fool and a total tech geek. Life is good!
Past-President Nellie Miller	Representing staff as SDTC President this year is a great honor! I’ve worked at GHC for over six years in the Business Office, mostly in the Accounts Payable/Travel function, and also doing accounting for GHC Foundation. I earned my BBA/Human Resource Management from AIU Online in 2007, which propelled me into a part-time instructor position teaching Payroll Accounting. Married with 2 children, I enjoy gardening and writing, and driving my hotrod.”

Advisor Dave Halverstadt	I have worked for Grays Harbor College for over 8 years. I have over 35 years professional experience in the Human Resource field. I am married with three grown children who are on their own paths for career and fulfillment. I Love working at the college primarily because of the great people we have here. I enjoy in my off time playing bridge, reading and being with my wife, kids and friends in that order.
