Kelli Sinclair, Dean for Counseling and Student Support at Waubonsee Community College, has been elected president of the advisory board at Family Focus Aurora.

She was elected to the post in June, having served as interim president of the advisory board through the first six months of 2014. Sinclair had served as vice president of the board, and had served a term as the board’s secretary, as well.

Family Focus Aurora is the local branch of Family Focus, a Chicago area organization established to provide services and assistance to promote the well-being of children from birth by supporting and strengthening families in and within their communities.

Sinclair, of DeKalb, has served on the Family Focus Aurora advisory board since 2006, assisting the board in its mission of advising the board of directors regarding staffing and programs and helping to organize fundraisers and cultural events.

In August, for instance, Family Focus Aurora will work with other Aurora-based community organizations, including Waubonsee Community College, to host “Roots Aurora,” a community festival to celebrate the cultures that enrich the Aurora community.
