BANDUCCI: He will benefit NIC

This letter is being written to enthusiastically endorse Mr. Todd Banducci, candidate for the position of Trustee of the North Idaho College (NIC) Board of Trustees. Mr. Banducci is currently serving as a Trustee and was raised in our community. He graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School and is a local business owner. He is the president of Falcon Investments & Insurance, Inc. and serves our country as a Major in the Air Force Reserves. Mr. Banducci is active in our community and volunteers for Gideons International.

We endorse Mr. Banducci for many reasons including that his knowledge in business greatly benefits NIC especially when it comes to decisions of finances and, of course, tuition. His main concern is to live in a community where everyone has the opportunity to be successful. He believes this happens when community members have an opportunity to receive an education and obtain a variety of degrees. Mr. Banducci understands that NIC is a diverse community of students and values the path it paves for their success. He has a focused, unambiguous plan for making improvements and is not afraid to be completely honest about his position on issues. Evidence of his efforts to make decisions transparent can be viewed online (http://www.nic.edu/board/). Of particular interest is the November 2015 meeting (minutes 43:20-46:25).

Mr. Banducci has a proven history of integrity, honesty and vision. He respectfully and faithfully values the opinions of students, faculty, staff and community members. Mr. Banducci focuses on and strives to achieve goals that truly benefit NIC and our community.
