The Rogue Community College Board of Education at its Dec. 15 meeting unanimously selected Maria Ramos Underwood to serve as an interim member. She will represent Zone 7 which encompasses the northeast quarter of the city of Medford. The position was filled due to the passing of board member Ron Fox in September.
Ramos has deep understanding of community colleges as an RCC healthcare partner, alumnus of Mesa Community College, an RCC student parent and as a faculty spouse.
Ramos is chief development officer for LaClinica where she has worked for 20 years, developing extensive experience in leadership, program development, marketing, human resources and fundraising. She also leads LaClinicaâs Equity, Diversity and Inclusion program.
