 At their
meeting on November 12-13, 2021, the ICCTA Board Representatives
adopted guidelines and criteria for the Gregg Chadwick Student
Service Scholarship, which will be awarded for the first time in
2022.
Chadwick passed away in the summer of 2021. At the time he was
serving as both chair of Heartland’s District 540 Board of Trustees
as well as President of the ICCTA.
"In his 18 years on the Heartland Community College Board of
Trustees as well as in his work with Marcfirst, Gregg chose to
prioritize service and community good in sharing his expertise and
expressing his steady leadership," said Thomas Whitt, Heartland
Community College District 540 Board of Trustees member, who serves
as a representative of the school to ICCTA. "Gregg’s presence is
missed by those of us who benefitted from his experience and
generosity of spirit."
Fitting with Chadwick’s long career of public service the
scholarship will support students who are dedicated to the
enrichment of others.
“Gregg Chadwick was a true servant leader in that he was quiet,
steady, kind, and a friend,” said Jon Looney, ICCTA President. “In
this spirit, ICCTA established the Gregg Chadwick Student Service
Scholarship to honor his longtime and heartfelt legacy of public
service.”
Each nomination for the Gregg Chadwick Student Service Scholarship
will be reviewed according to the following criteria:
· How does this student stand out, serving as a strong role model
for others and engaging others in community service?

· Have the student's efforts made a lasting or meaningful
contribution or impact on the college or community?
· How much time has this student devoted to community service during their
college enrollment?
· How has the student's volunteer work been recognized and valued by their peers
and community leaders?
All currently enrolled students at ICCTA member colleges are eligible to
participate in the Gregg Chadwick Student Service Scholarship competition. Each
college may submit one entry per academic year.
Chadwick served on the HCC Board of Trustees since 2002 and was elected Chair of
the Board in 2009. He had also served the ICCTA in previous roles, including
Treasurer (2009-2010), Chair of the Government Relations and Public Policy
Committee (2017-2019), and as Vice President (2019-2020). Chadwick served as
Chief Operating Officer at Marcfirst, an agency that provides residential,
employment, and training services to adults with emotional and intellectual
disabilities.
