Candidates come from diverse backgrounds and experience
The three finalists for the newly created Vice President of Strategic Initiatives position at Yavapai Community College appeared during the morning for an Open Forum on July 16 at the Verde Campus. The candidates were: Dr. Sean Abel, Dr. Diane Ryan, and Dr. Stephanie Duguid. The event was provided over a live video stream to faculty who could not attend the presentation in person.
The candidates were given 15 minutes to make a presentation and then several more minutes to answer written questions from those in attendance.
At least one member of the Community College Governing Board, Deb McCasland, was in attendance at the Forum. The public did not receive notice of the open forum although the moderators who introduced the candidates during the morning suggested that the community had been invited.
The candidates will be given a guided tour of the Prescott Campus today (Wednesday).
The following is some of the information the candidates submitted to the Community College.
