The State - News from May 29, 1986

The president of Delancey Street, a San Francisco-based residential treatment center for ex-convicts, ex-addicts and ex-prostitutes, was appointed to the state Board of Corrections by Gov. George Deukmejian. Mimi Silbert, 44, was named to replace Thomas V.A. Wornham of La Jolla, who resigned. The appointment to a term ending Jan. 1, 1989, is subject to Senate confirmation. Silbert, who began her career with Delancey Street in 1972 as a facilitator for encounter sessions, has won numerous honors from law enforcement and community corrections agencies. The governor also appointed Christine Arnold of Irvine to the $58,428-a-year post as chief deputy director of the Department of Aging. Arnold, 38, last year became manager of financial data systems for Orange County.
