NIC ELECTION: Vote for Broschet, Corkill and Zimmerman

The threat to NIC is real. Workforce training, dual credit and accreditation are all at risk. As voters we can take steps to protect NIC. We can vote for Pete Broschet, Brad Corkill and Tarie Zimmerman for the NIC Board of Trustees.

In just two short years, NIC has gone from a position of strength to that of having a warning status from its accreditation commission. NWCCU cites governance as a major concern. The problems with governance arose under the leadership of then-chair Todd Banducci. If we don’t elect Broschet, Corkill and Zimmerman, Banducci could once again become chair and put NIC in greater danger of losing its accreditation.

Broschet, Corkill and Zimmerman are principled conservatives who will use their considerable skills to restore North Idaho College. Please join me in voting for them on Nov. 8.
