Also at the December 8 Board meeting, the Foundation thanked outgoing Board President Tina Hueppe.

Tina served on the Foundation Board for six years and made significant contributions during her time with the Foundation. She plans to remain involved with the Foundation through the Education to Empowerment program and other events and initiatives.
Each board member is elected to the board for a three-year term and can serve an additional three-year term after that. After two consecutive terms, board members are asked to sit off the board for one year. They can then return to the board for another two consecutive terms.
“We’re extremely grateful to have this wonderful group of individuals dedicated to advancing the mission of the College and helping students achieve success,” said Brian DiBona, executive director of the Foundation. “We thank Tina for all of her hard work over the years, and look forward to the impact Steve and Charlotte will make in their new roles.”
