| Info | Juan is the son of immigrant farm workers, the fifth of seven children. In his youth, Juan worked alongside his family, harvesting crops throughout California. Due to his experiences, Arambula vowed to improve the living conditions of those around him.
Juan graduated from three of the most respected educational institutions in America. He graduated from Harvard University with high honors and a degree in Comparative Literature in 1975. He went on to receive a Master�s Degree in Educational Administration and Policy Analysis from Stanford University in 1978, and a law degree from Boalt Law School at the
University of California at Berkeley in 1981.
Arambula is an effective consensus builder and seasoned decision-maker. He has been a stabilizing force during his 16 years of public service. Arambula received the prestigious Rose Ann Vuich Award for Ethics in Leadership in 2002.
Arambula served two terms on the Fresno Unified School Board from 1987 � 1996. He worked hard to meet the needs of a diverse student population, while preserving the District�s financial stability during difficult budget times. Juan was President of the School Board in 1990 and 1994. Arambula also served as President of the Fresno County School Trustees Association and on the Board of Directors for the California School Boards Association and the California State Association of Counties.
Juan Arambula has served as a member of the Fresno County Board of Supervisors since 1997. Arambula has worked to increase job development, improve access to quality health care for Fresno families, reduce youth violence in our communities and promote smart growth.
Supervisor Arambula led the effort to restructure the Fresno County Social Services system to improve the delivery of services and eliminate duplication, by creating four target departments to address critical needs. He also enabled County residents to better access key services at �One Stop� Centers in Selma, Reedley and Coalinga.
Arambula continues to emphasize the need for County leadership to address our chronic double-digit unemployment, by diversifying our economy while preserving our agricultural heritage. He co-chairs the Fresno Regional Jobs Initiative, which is a collaborative effort between government, business, and civic leaders to develop and attract industries with the potential to create jobs. He is also working to secure two regional vocational training facilities in Fresno.
Supervisor Arambula led the fight to fund construction of a new Juvenile Hall facility and open the Caruthers Boot Camp for juvenile offenders, as well as expand the County Jail. He is also a strong advocate for prevention programs, helping Fresno County earn the highest grade statewide for the use of its youth violence prevention funds.
He also negotiated an historic agreement between Fresno County, Fresno City and Clovis, which emphasizes a smart growth approach to land use.
Juan currently serves on a number of community boards, including Fresno County's Council of Governments, Retirement Board and Workforce Development Board, the Kenneth L. Maddy Institute of Public Affairs, and the Fresno Regional Jobs Initiative.
He lives in Fresno with his wife of 27 years, Amy. He has four adult children: Joaquin (26), Carmen (25), Diego (24) and Miguel (21).
