Board of Trustees Opens Two Positions
Thursday, September 20th, 2018 – There are two seats on the ICC Board of Trustees that are up for election on the April 2, 2019 ballot. Candidates can now pass out petitions to gather the 50 signatures required. The Board of Trustees is responsible for making new policy for the college. These members are there to ensure these policies represent the college’s interests.
Candidate packets for the ICC Board of Trustees Election are now available. A candidate packet is an elaborate resume that is usually broken up into three parts. The packets usually start with a cover letter, leading into a job description profile, and finalized with a resume.
If you are planning on running, candidates must meet these requirements to be considered for a position on the Board:
- Qualified elector/registered voter
- U.S. citizen aged 18 or older
- Resident of Illinois
- Resident of ICC District #514 for at least one year prior to the election on April 2, 2019
In addition to this, you must also file a petition including 50 signatures, a Statement of Candidacy, and a receipt for filing a Statement of Economic Interest from the Tazewell County Clerk. You must file these items with the Secretary of the Board of Trustees between December 10 and 17, 2018.
If you are one of the candidates waiting in line to file petitions as of 8 a.m. on December 10, 2018, or for those petitions received in the mail on that date, a lottery for ballot placement will be held on December 18, 2018, at 9 a.m. in Room L422 on the ICC East Peoria Campus.
