Board of Regents

Founded to help bolster fundraising and relations between Thomas Aquinas College and the surrounding Southern California community, the Board of Regents is a group of dynamic, local leaders committed to the College’s mission of Catholic liberal education. Its members serve as good will ambassadors, helping to introduce and promote the College to new friends throughout the region.

After serving as a Regent for four years, Mr. Scott Daily of Camarillo was named chairman in 2010. “For all of us who are in the local area, Thomas Aquinas College is such a blessing,” says Mr. Daily, a business owner who manages a private portfolio of investments. “On the Board of Regents, we try to be a bridge between the College and its neighbors, because the more that local individuals and business leaders come to know the school, the more everyone will benefit."
