Mesalands narrows field for president position

Mesalands Community College’s Board of Trustees has narrowed the search for its next president to five semi-finalists.

The board of trustees began the search for a new president after they accepted the resignation of then president Thomas Newsom on Feb. 20, with his last official day set for April 6.

Newsom said he has accepted a position at a institute closer to his family home in McKinney, Texas.

During the May 25 special meeting Jim Streetman was named the new chair of the board of trustees to fill the vacancy of the late J. Bronson Moore. Craig Currell was named as a new trustee.

The semi-finalists, will be interviewed by the board of trustees Wednesday-Friday in executive session during special board meetings.

The finalist are Glendon S. Forgey from Athens, Texas; Frederick F. Greene from Clovis,; John D. Groesbeck from North Ogden, Utah; Kim M. McGinnis from Laguna Niguel, California; and Robert M. Munoz from Fort Worth, Texas.
