Abe Ali, vice chancellor of human resources for the Kern Community College District, will be leaving after eight years of employment, during which he also served as both president and vice president of the California Community Colleges Association for Chief Human Resources Officer.

“I have met great leaders, great staff, and great faculty throughout KCCD’s 26,000 square mile service area.

“I wish my successor the best and more importantly, I bid the Kern Community College District a heartfelt farewell,” said Ali.

Ali accepted the position of vice president of human resources appointed to him by the Board of Trustees at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.

A farewell reception will be held for him at the District Office on Sept. 8.

Ali’s final day with the KCCD will be Sept. 19.
