Dr. Robert “Bob” Beilin returned to the board in 2021. A licensed marital family therapist in Ventura County, Bob was previously a board member for five years. He decided that he wanted to serve again because of his commitment to making higher education accessible to students who otherwise could not attend college, especially members of underserved populations. He sees the VC Foundation board as an agency of providing funding for underserved students, and for leading the way in providing diversity to the college and its organizations. In 2006, Bob established the Rebecca Singer-Beilin Memorial Scholarship, named after his daughter, who had wanted to become a nurse but died before she could do so. Each year, the scholarship helps students pursue their dreams of a career in nursing. He established a Phoenix scholarship in memory of his mother, who was never able to finish school because she didn’t have the financial help she needed to attend college while working full time to provide for her family.

In addition to his private practice and clinical supervision, Bob frequently provides expert testimony in family law and forensic mental health court cases.
