Doris Blum
Glendora School Board Member
"I have known and worked with Robin Merkley for more than fifteen years, and can think of no one better prepared to be a member of the Glendora Board of Education. Robin has been a dedicated school volunteer, serving on many district wide committees, including the Bond Oversight Committee. She played a major role in the PTA, having been PTA president at several schools, both elementary and secondary, and as the PTA Council president. Now that her children have graduated from GHS, she continues her PTA commitment and is currently the secretary of the Whitcomb High School PTSA. As a community volunteer, Robin is now the president of the Glendora Community Coordinating Council and a member of the Glendora Library Board. Robin has been a strong voice for public education, and an advocate for all the children who attend Glendora's schools. I know that as a member of the Board of Education Robin will work to make sure that the Glendora Unified School District will continue to be among the very best in Southern California."

Robin will be a wonderful addition to the school board."

As a parent of children enrolled in GUSD, I appreciate her work with PTA and her sincere interest in the education and enrichment of each and every child. Robin volunteers her time for numerous community projects and exemplifies public service, teamwork, fairness, and responsibility. I look forward to the continuation of Robin's community service as a member of the GUSD School Board."

She has the skills to take the lead on any situation but still has the ability and personality to get into the trenches to make things happen. Robin has always given unselfishly of her time and talents when called upon in the community and the School Board is a sensible transition for her to take on a larger leadership role in the community."
