The Trustees of the Wayne Community College will hold a meeting this Friday for the public to share the qualities they would like to see in the college’s next president.

The town hall-style meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12 in Room 101 of the Walnut Building on the college’s main campus in Goldsboro.

The public is invited to “speak to the board regarding the traits and characteristics we should be looking for in a new president,” said Trustee Chair Chris Martin. “Comments will be considered as a profile is developed for our Presidential Search Committee and the board to use as it does its work.”

To facilitate the flow of the meeting, the Presidential Search Committee asks that participants follow a few guidelines for their comments.

Each speaker will be given three minutes to talk. The committee wants to hear from everyone who wishes to speak but needs each statement to be as succinct as possible.

The Committee wants participants to think of the future, not the past, and speak to what traits they believe the college’s next leader needs to possess. They are looking for suggestions, essentially completing the statement, “What we really need going forward is ____________.”

Those who cannot attend the meeting may submit their comments in writing. Statements should be limited to approximately 300 words. They can be submitted to Presidential Search Committee, c/o Tara Humphries, PO Box 8002, Goldsboro, NC 27533-8002 or tarah@waynecc.edu. They will be forwarded directly to the committee.

Dr. Kay H. Albertson will retire as WCC’s president effective Aug. 1, 2016. It is the local board’s responsibility to hire her replacement, subject to the approval of the State Board of Community Colleges. WCC’s board of trustees has selected N.C.
