State Board of Community Colleges to present I. E. Ready Award

 

RALEIGH - The State Board of Community Colleges hosts the Day of Recognition Awards Luncheon at noon on Friday, November 18 at the RBC Center.  The I.E. Ready Award, the most prestigious honor bestowed by the State Board, will be presented to two recipients.  The State Board will also honor the President of the Year, Instructor of the Year, Staff Person of the Year, and more than 30 retirees from the North Carolina Community College System.

 

More than 300 members of the community college family will attend the luncheon including former Governor Bob Scott, who also served as president of the North Carolina Community College System.  Several political dignitaries will also attend including former U.S. Senator Jim Broyhill and several members of the North Carolina General Assembly.

 

The Day of Recognition Luncheon follows the 9:00 a.m. November meeting of the State Board in the Caswell Building where Nancy Margulies Brenner of Greensboro will be sworn in as a new member of the Board.  Brenner, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, was elected by the North Carolina Senate in August to a six-year term.  She was president of a mail order company from 1980 to 1991.  Since 1991 she has focused her attention on community activities including serving on the boards of Greensboro Day School, Greensboro Jewish Federation, Family and Children’s Services, and Brenner Children’s Hospital.  She is married to Frank Brenner, owner of Atlantic Scrap Metal Recycling in Winston-Salem and a member of the Board of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team, and they have two children: Matthew (21) and Molly (18).

 

The Board will welcome the two new community college presidents who were approved at the October meeting.  Dr. Suzanne Owens is president at Mayland Community College and Dr. Ralph Soney is president at Roanoke- Chowan Community College.

 

The full agenda for the meeting follows.
