Continued Excellence

The first responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to work to ensure and enhance the excellence that has been the hallmark of JCCC for 40 years.

As a member of the Board, I will never forget that Board exists to serve the College.

Fiscal Responsibility

These are tough economic times that are not likely to get significantly better for several years.  In an era of reduced state funding and declining local property values, it is imperative that the Board ensures that every dollar is spent in a way that best serves the college and the taxpayers.

As a member of the Board, I will continue to ensure that the taxpayers receive top benefit for its investment in the college.

Open Board

The Board of Trustees serves not only the Johnson County community at large, but also each and every student, staff member, administrator, and faculty member.  As such, the Board must be open and available to all its constituents.  All matters that are brought to the Board deserve careful consideration.

As a member of the Board, I will continue to be available to all my constituents.  I will treat their concerns with seriousness and respect.

Transparency

The Board must operate in a manner free from self-dealing and hidden agendas.  All Board actions must be held to public scrutiny, and must avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

As a member of the Board, I hold the Board to the highest standards.

Professionalism

All Board members must first believe in the mission of the college.  They must be willing to put aside their personal ambitions, agenda, or ideology to serve the college.  All Board members must be willing to put in the time to govern responsibly by attending Board meetings, committees, and other Board functions.

I pledge to always put the good of the college first as a Trustee.
