 “Gregg’s commitment to helping others with his work
at Marcfirst and with his community service efforts made a big
impact on so many,” said Brian Wipperman, Chief Executive Officer at
Marcfirst. “This loss is felt by those at our organization both in a
professional and personals sense. Gregg was a responsible leader, a
dependable colleague, and a good friend to so many.”
Chadwick had been COO of Marcfirst since July of 2018. Prior to
joining Marcfirst he had served in executive positions with Decatur
Memorial Hospital, the University of Illinois College of Medicine
and Premier Medical Group. He also was a certified Teacher of
English to Speakers of Other Languages.
“The loss of Gregg is something that we feel deeply here in our
Heartland family,” said Heartland Community College President Keith
Cornille. “Heartland would not be the place it is today without
Gregg’s prudent leadership and collaborative partnerships with the
rest of the Board and with our administration. Gregg’s impact on the
College and on our community during his 18 year tenure on the Board,
which includes 11 years as Board Chair, is something that has and
will continue to enrich lives.”
