Meet Bob
Bob Romness has spent more than three decades serving the Lincoln and Placer County communities.
Since 2014, Bob has represented Area 1 on the Sierra College Board of Trustees, where he is currently serving his third term. His commitment to education was recognized in 2018 when he was named Trustee of the Year by the Placer County Office of Education.
Bob’s involvement in local education extends well beyond Sierra College. He serves as Chairman of the Western Placer Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports local classrooms by providing grants directly to teachers in the Western Placer Unified School District.
Community service has been a constant throughout Bob’s career. For 20 years, from 1999 to 2019, he served as Executive Director of the Lincoln Volunteer Center. During that time, he also served as CEO of the Lincoln Area Chamber of Commerce from 2009 to 2013. He has served on the board of Placer Valley Tourism and was a founding member of the Lincoln Community Foundation.
Bob has called Lincoln home since 1995. Today, he and his wife, Robin, continue to live in the community they’ve been part of for more than 30 years — along with their Golden Retriever, Linguini.
