[July 08, 2020]
Heartland Community College District 540 Board of Trustees Chair
Gregg Chadwick will be serving as the President of the Illinois
Community College Trustees Association (ICCTA) for the 2020-2021
academic year.
Chadwick took office on July 1 along with other officers Vice
President Jon Looney (Black Hawk College), Vice Secretary Dr.
Maureen Dunne (College of DuPage), and Treasurer Mandy Little (John
A. Logan College). ICCTA officers serve a term of one year.
“There are so many experiences with the Heartland board that will
help me during the upcoming year,” said Chadwick. “Heartland, like
all other community colleges in Illinois, brings a unique
perspective to the association, where challenges and successes can
be shared. Ultimately, the work of the association must support our
students’ achievement of their goals. Because this is such a strong
focus at Heartland, I find my experience to be extremely helpful.”
Chadwick looks to bring the knowledge of each of the regional
boards, including elected student representatives, to the forefront
during the upcoming academic year.
“I think the biggest impact the ICCTA has is its focus on trustee
education,” said Chadwick. “The executive committee will meet in
August to finalize goals and plans for the 2020-2021 year.
Personally, I want to continue to find ways to engage trustees in
professional education, and to use the impact of the 200-plus
trustees represented by ICCTA in promoting state- and nation-wide
initiatives. I also am hoping to increase the interaction between
the elected trustees and the student trustees.”
