At the June Board of Directors meeting, Mark Rasmussen completed his three-year service and was recognized for his contributions.
“It has been a privilege and an honor to work with you all these last few years,” said Rasmussen. “So much has been accomplished at the college, and I am thrilled Ron is here to carry on the work forward.”
Ron Barden will be stepping up to represent Rabun County on the Board beginning in July. Mr. Barden began board certification training in May and spent some time in a live CNC class and lab. “I was very impressed with the level of instruction, particularly the incorporation of math concepts to the hands-on lab work,” he said. When Ron completes his training in a few months, he will be sworn in as an active member of the board.
“We are fortunate to have such dedicated individuals on our board,” said NGTC President Dr. Gail Thaxton. “We rely on their wisdom and guidance as we strive to push through initiatives focused on student success.”
The NGTC Board of Directors meets the second Wednesday of every month and is responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of the college.
