State Board of Community Colleges to honor outstanding Small Business Centers

Election of officers, new member and new college president on agenda

 

RALEIGH – The State Board of Community Colleges will recognize the excellent service provided by the 58 Small Business Centers across the state by honoring three outstanding Small Business Centers (SBC) this week.  The Excellent Small Business Center Awards presentation is part of the regular State Board meeting which begins at 9:00 a.m. in the State Board Room of the Caswell Building in Raleigh on Friday, July 20.

 

The leadership of the State Board of Community Colleges is slated for re-election.  Chair Hilda Pinnix-Ragland and Vice-Chair Dr. Linwood Powell were nominated to a second term at the May Board meeting.  They have no opposition.  The election is the first item on the agenda.

 

The Board will welcome Dr. G. Thomas “Tom” Houlihan of Oxford, an education leader on state and national levels, as a new member.  Houlihan will take the oath of office, as will Mr. G. Gordon “Buddy” Greenwood, an Asheville bank president. Greenwood begins his second term on the Board.  Both men are appointees of Governor Easley.

 

The Board will formally recognize Dr. Larry Keen as the new president of Fayetteville Technical Community College.  The Board approved Keen, who has served as vice president for Economic and Workforce Development for the NC Community College System since 2002, at its June meeting.  Keen succeeds Dr. Larry Norris, who retired after ten years as FTCC president.

 

The Board will also receive a report on the activities of the Presidential Search Committee.

The full agenda follows.
