LTC board seeks to fill four vacancies
Individuals interested in filling any of four upcoming vacancies on the Lakeshore Technical College Board must apply by 4 p.m. March 8.
The LTC Board is comprised of two employers, two employees, three at-large members, a school district administrator and an elected official. Terms expire for three board posts each year. This year’s spring appointment also includes one interim appointment.
The four vacancies are for an employee member, an employer member, an at-large member and an interim employer member. The standard terms will run from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2013. The term for the interim employer member vacancy will run from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2012.
An employee member is defined as a person who is employed but does not meet the criteria in the employer category, or who is an officer or agent of a labor organization. An employee is one who receives earning as payment for personal services and is employed in the district.
An employer member is defined as someone with the authority to determine or effectively recommend any of the following: hire, transfer, suspend, discipline, lay off, recall, adjust grievances, promote, discharge, assign or reward.
Employer and employee candidates must reasonably represent the business and industries in the LTC district. An at-large member is defined as someone who is a resident of the LTC district.
To be eligible for consideration, candidates must reside within the LTC district, which includes Manitowoc County less the portion of the school districts of Chilton, Brillion and Denmark; Sheboygan County less the portion of the school district of New Holstein; the Kiel Area School District in Calumet County; and the Cedar Grove-Belgium and Random Lake school districts in Ozaukee County.
Equal consideration is given to the general population distribution within the LTC district, as well as the distribution of women and minorities. To ensure board composition diversity as required by Wisconsin Technical College System policy, this year’s spring appointments must meet the following criteria: two appointees must be from the southern portion of LTC’s district in Ozaukee or Sheboygan counties, one must be from the northern portion of LTC’s district in Manitowoc or Calumet counties, and one must be male.
Each applicant must submit a notarized affidavit/application, résumé and at least two letters of recommendation by 4 p.m. March 8 to Foua Hang, board appointment liaison, Lakeshore Technical College, 1290 North Ave., Cleveland 53015. To receive an application, contact Foua Hang at (920) 693- 1631 or foua.hang@gotoltc.edu.
Applications will be reviewed to verify candidates’ eligibility and then distributed to the LTC Board Appointment Committee for review. The committee is made up of county board chairs from Calumet, Manitowoc, Ozaukee and Sheboygan counties.
According to state statutes, applicants must be present at the LTC Board appointment public hearing, during which they will be interviewed. The public hearing will take place March 25 in the Lakeshore Conference Room of the Lakeshore Building at LTC’s Cleveland campus.
