Board of Trustees
Leading With Purpose at Clark State!
Clark State’s Board of Trustees exemplifies what a high functioning, engaged governing body looks like—operating in seamless partnership with the President to advance student success, fiscal responsibility, and community responsiveness. The core themes of the Board and President relationship are strategic fiscal oversight; open communication; student-centered focus; campus engagement; strategic planning and shared governance; community and legislative advocacy; and professional learning and recognition. Appointed by the Governor of Ohio, each Trustee serves a six-year term.
The American Association of Community Colleges honored both the Board and Jo Alice Blondin, Ph.D., Clark State president, with the Award of Excellence for CEO/Board Relations, celebrating five years of consistent, effective collaboration, with impressive outcomes for Clark State students.
