The Kentucky Community and Technical College System Board of Regents will have some local representation.
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Engineering and Electronics Technology Professor Marty Sutherland has been selected as the new occupational, technical education faculty regent for the KCTCS Board of Regents. The 14-member board acts as the governing body of the college system. Sutherland will serve an interim term that ends in September.
The KCTCS says Sutherland has worked for ECTC since 2002 and has served in several leadership positions, including his current tenures as chair of the Engineering and Electronics Curriculum Committee and the KCTCS Senate Council for ECTC.
Sutherland said in a release: “I am honored to join the KCTCS Board of Regents as the representative of occupational and technical faculty throughout our system. KCTCS and our great faculty are leading the way in technical education, and I believe that we can build upon those strengths as we work together to advance workforce opportunities across our state.”
Sutherland graduated from Southern Illinois University with a bachelor’s degree in Workforce Education, Training, and Development, and holds several professional certifications.
