Mark Browning resigns from NIC

COEUR d’ALENE — Mark Browning, North Idaho College’s vice president for communications and governmental relations, is leaving Coeur d’Alene.

NIC President Rick MacLennan announced Wednesday in a campus news update sent by email to faculty, staff and students that Browning is resigning to accept a position with the College of Western Idaho.

“Our loss is certainly their gain as Mark will serve as their new VP for Communications and Governmental Relations in Nampa/Boise,” MacLennan said, in the email.

Browning, who has served in the position at NIC since January 2012, will continue working on the Coeur d’Alene campus until after the college’s new Career and Technical Education Facility in Rathdrum is officially open. A ribbon-cutting is planned for Sept. 28.

Browning’s last day will be Oct. 3.

“I will count my relationships formed and experiences while at NIC among some of the most meaningful in my professional and personal life,” Browning said.

MacLennan will announce his plans for handling the vacancy within the next few weeks.
