(KNZA)--A vacancy has been filled on the Highland Community College Board of Trustees.
According to a new release from the College, Charles " Kenny" Huss, of Troy, was selected by the sitting members of the Board to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Chairperson Joyce Simpson.
Simpson resigned after her daughter, Dr. Amy Foley, was hired as an instructor at the College. Board policy prevents a sitting board member from having immediate relatives employed by the College.
Huss is a 1990 alumnus of the College before transferring to Kansas State University. He then earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Benedictine. Huss has been working in the pharmaceutical industry, both human and animal, in operations, quality control, and management.
Huss noted that he regards his service on the Board of Trustees as a way of giving back to the community he grew up in and the college that helped him get a start.
Huss will be sworn in to begin his duties on the Board at this month’s meeting, which will be held at the College’s Western Center in Baileyville on November 15.
