Women in Business Richelle Noroyan
Richelle Noroyoyan is a Santa Cruz native who is proud to call Santa Cruz her home. Her parents owned a small business and instilled in her a strong work ethic. Her first job was delivering the Santa Cruz Sentinel to her neighbors and although after graduating college she worked briefly in Los Angeles and San Francisco, she soon returned to her hometown in her mid-20s to live in and serve the community she loves. She has worked at Apple Inc. and Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), past district director to California Assembly member Ira Ruskin, past member and chair of the Santa Cruz Public Works and Transportation Commission, is a current member and past chair of the Santa Cruz County Democratic Central Committee, and is currently working at UC Santa Cruz as the community relations representative of the Government and Community Relations Unit as well as a member of the Santa Cruz City Council. Combining her private sector skills with her knowledge of government, she works hard to break through the roadblocks and improve our city by repairing our streets and public spaces, improving public safety, protecting our environment, teaching visitors to pack their trash when visiting our beaches and create meaningful economic opportunities.

About Santa Cruz Women Leaders Network:
The Santa Cruz Women Leadership Network’s mission is to build a new generation of qualified women leaders in order to reflect the diversity of our population. By supporting and connecting our community’s talented and accomplished leaders of all genders to the next generation of professionals, to educate and prepare them to take on leadership positions, we aim to grow our number of women leaders. SC-WLN will hold four quarterly gatherings - focusing on leadership development, mentoring, and networking - at family friendly restaurants throughout the county where anyone can come eat, have a drink, learn and network with one another.
