IVCC board appoints Jay McCracken as the new board head
Jay McCracken's New Role: Leading the IVCC Board
Previously the director of the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce, Jay McCracken is expanding his horizons by stepping up as the chair of the Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC) board of trustees.
The veteran school superintendent was voted in by fellow trustees to step into the chair's role, previously held by Everett Solon. Solon remains on the IVCC board and will focus on leading the Facilities Committee.
Angela Stevenson filled the vice-chair position on the IVCC board.
As the new chair, Jay McCracken is anticipated to play a crucial part in strategic planning, budgeting, and policy-making for the college. His role as chair would also involve representing the board in various external dealings and communications. However, the precise details about his "new roles" beyond being the board chair are not available in the available data.
It's significant to point out that McCracken has not been elected as the president of Illinois Valley Community College itself. This executive position involves the operational leadership of the institution. As a board chair, McCracken's responsibilities are focused on leading the board of trustees and making vital decisions regarding the college's operations and policies.
