Janie McNabb Appointed To NMC Board Seat

June 28, 2017

The Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) board of trustees unanimously appointed Janie McNabb Monday to fill a vacant trustee slot on the board.

McNabb was selected from among nine candidates for the seat vacated by Marilyn Gordon Dresser, who resigned June 1. McNabb is an NMC alumnus and a strategic policy consultant. She previously partnered with the college to "provide job training in high-demand industries, develop programs based on employer demand, and align skilled trades grants with regional planning through her work as Chief Operating Officer at Networks Northwest," according to NMC.

“I am interested in serving as a trustee in order to support the college’s role in responding to the needs of the economy, promoting lifelong learning, and providing cultural experiences to the community," McNabb said in her board application. "I believe that my experiences in workforce development, strategic planning, and organizational leadership will be of value to the board of trustees and to the administration. As both a former student of the college and a lifelong advocate for academic and professional training, I would consider it an honor to participate in this level of leadership for the organization."

McNabb will fill the trustee seat until the college's next election in November 2018. At that time, McNabb can run to fill the remaining two years of Dresser's term - which expires December 31, 2020 - or else run for any other open trustee term on the 2018 ballot.
