Glee Johnson has been named as the new Chief Deputy Chancellor for the California Community Colleges system. Johnson, a former undersecretary for the Governor’s Office of Child Development and Education, began her service at the state Chancellor’s Office during the week of November 9.

Among Johnson’s duties at the office that oversees the 106 colleges in the system are internal office management, responsibility for supervising strategic initiatives, and assisting Chancellor Thomas J. Nussbaum in collaborating with control agencies and other constituencies.

"Glee’s extensive knowledge of education and her vast experience in state government fills a valuable need that will bolster our system office and benefit our colleges," said Chancellor Nussbaum.

In October 1996, Johnson was appointed undersecretary for the Governor’s Office of Child Development and Education, with responsibility for policy development, enactment, and implementation of education initiatives sponsored by the Governor. Her duties also included analysis and advice to the Governor and his staff regarding education initiatives proposed by others.

She previously served the Administration as chief deputy legislative secretary and as deputy legislative secretary from 1992 to 1996, providing analysis and advice to the Governor regarding education policies proposed by agencies within the Administrative and Legislative branches of government. Johnson’s professional experience also includes serving as assistant program budget manager for the Department of Finance from 1991 to 1992, supervising staff in the development, enactment and administration of budgets.

Johnson earned bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and psychology from Purdue University in 1969 and a master’s degree in business administration from California State University, Sacramento in 1979. She and her husband, Greg Geeting, and their children Travis (12) and Meredith (10) live in Sacramento.
