PORT ANGELES — Community input in the qualities desired in Peninsula College’s next president will be collected at forums planned in early December.
The forums will be in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks and Port Townsend.
The Board of Trustees will use suggestions from the public as it develops a presidential profile that will be used in the recruitment of the next Peninsula College president.
The next president will replace Tom Keegan, who has accepted the post of president at Skagit Valley College after a decade at the helm of Peninsula College.
The profile the trustees develop will describe the position, required and preferred qualifications, experience and skills desired, as well as the foreseeable opportunities and challenges at the college, which is based in Port Angeles with branches in Forks and Port Townsend, in the next 10 years.
Community members are invited to attend any or all of the public forums held throughout the Peninsula.
Separate forums are scheduled for college faculty and staff.
