Trustee Anna Franz agreed that as long as Trustee Blakely is willing to serve, she supports his remaining the Chair through June 2014. Trustee Mike Blakely stated he is pleased to remain as chair through the end of his term in 2014. 11. Association of Community College Trustees Nominations Chair Blakely announced that the board provided a presentation proposal to the ACCT for the Fall meeting in Seattle on Presidential Search Process. ACCT also performs presidential searches, so they may choose not to include BBCC’s presentation. If the proposal is accepted, Trustee Blakely would like to invite former Trustee Mike Wren and VP Emeritus Holly Moos to assist with the presentation at the ACCT conference. Trustee Blakely stated he would like to recognize outstanding BBCC staff by nominating them for ACCT awards. Trustee McFadden agreed with seeking recognition for BBCC employees. The trustees discussed a process for completing the nominations. BBCC employees know each other and can detail achievements for the nominations. The President will work with staff to generate nominations for all categories. During the June 14 board meeting, the trustees will make the final decision and hope to submit one nomination for each area: Trustee Leadership, Equity, and Faculty Member. Trustee Blakely also stated he wants to nominate former Trustee Mike Wren for the Trustee Leadership award for his stewardship during the presidential search. 12.
