NIC: Ex-faculty endorsements

As retired instructors with 337 collective years of experience at North Idaho College, we strongly support the re-election of Judy Meyer and Mic Armon to the NIC Board of Trustees. Our recommendation is based on our having worked, shoulder-to-shoulder, with students to help them build a successful future. Judy and Mic also work creatively to support the college mission.

Over the last 14 years, and among numerous successes achieved with other board members, Judy and Mic have acted to:

(1) acquire the former DeArmond mill site and develop it into the education corridor, which serves NIC, University of Idaho, Lewis Clark State College, Idaho State University and Boise State University students;

(2) establish satellite campuses to serve students in Post Falls, Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, and Kellogg and recently purchased land on the Rathdrum Prairie;

(3) service all North Idaho communities through computer delivered distance learning courses;

(4) partner with K-Tech to establish a professional technical feeder high school;

(5) provide visionary leadership during a 45 percent student enrollment increase between 2007 and 2011.

Not only have they worked in advancing the mission of NIC, Judy and Mic are immersed as volunteers serving the community. Mic is involved with civic clubs, the public schools and foundation, and the chamber of commerce.

Judy is the former chair of the Idaho Board of Education. She is on the board of the Community Library Network, Friends of Idaho Public TV and co-founder of Hospice of North Idaho.

Their vision, dedication to our communities and achievements on behalf of North Idaho citizens make Judy and Mic the clear choices for re-election to the NIC Board.
