2024-25 Executive Board
Meet the Black Staff Association Executive Board.
Jasmine Montilla | Chair | Programs & Events | Communications | Seeking: Secretary | Treasurer
Jasmine Montilla is a Compliance Specialist in IPPS Procurement and Contracts housed within Residential, Retail, and Supply Chain Services. Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, the smallest state in the US, Jasmine’s background includes supporting elementary and secondary education, advocating for union workers, and volunteering within her community.
After moving to California in 2016 and starting as a TES member she quickly moved through the ranks, absorbing information, providing guidance, and streamlining processes to better assist campus. In 2019 she was ready to take a leap and join the Black Staff Association.
With a drive to improve campus climate in 2021, Jasmine worked with members of her department to launch an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee and joined as a Treasurer-Elect of the Black Staff Association to give back and make a difference. Her hopes are centered around alleviating barriers to promotions, professional and personal development, and increasing accountability within Senior Leadership.
She has shown dedication to the organization and supported all BSA programs, events, and special initiatives while providing encouragement and appreciation.
