George joined the SWCEJ board in July 2021. “I am privileged and honored to be asked to join an organization committed to standing up for those wronged by the system,” Joe said. “All my life, I have seen minorities wrongfully charged and sometimes beaten by authorities, yet nothing ever becomes of it.” Joe has master’s degrees in English and educational leadership and is currently the Director of Marketing and Communications at Diné College. He has served on several boards, which includes a Navajo grant school and Northland Pioneer College. Last year, he was one of seven national finalists for the 2020 Communicator of the Year by the NCMPR (National Council on Marketing and Public Relations), a national organization consisting of colleges across the country.
