On May 23, 2019, the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees finalized the 17-member screening committee for the hiring of the new Superintendent/President. Three of the 17 members represent the community or noncredit programs while the other 14 represent various constituent groups within the college. The role of the screening committee is to interview, evaluate and forward candidate finalists to the Board of Trustees for their final decision.
“The Board was very impressed with the public response to our request for community volunteers on the committee. We sincerely thank everyone who expressed interest,” said Robert K. Miller, SBCC Board President.
The Community members-at-large that were selected are: Meredith Murr, a Ph.D. scientist and science and proposal strategy consultant with extensive experience in higher education, and Norm Habermann, a longtime resident, member of the UCSB Foundation Board of Trustees, and member of the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors. The community member chosen to represent SBCC’s noncredit student population is Alfred Smith, a retired professional with experience in communication and strategic analysis.
