An Independence Community College Board of Trustees member has resigned. Ashley Newland submitted her resignation, effective September 20, 2022. Newland currently served as Vice Chair and has served since January 2020. ICC President, Dr. Vincent Bowhay said the College greatly appreciated the leadership, insight, and expertise she has provided as Vice Chair of the Board.

Newland’s commitment to students at ICC will live on with the generous endowment she founded with the College. The Ashley Newland Endowed Scholarship through the ICC Foundation will provide scholarship dollars to single parents (regardless of gender) with dependent children residing with them.

Newland said, "During my time serving on the Board of Trustees, I have had the opportunity to see the positive transformations made by our new President, Dr. Vincent Bowhay, along with all the work his team has accomplished." Newland concluded, "I strongly recommend everyone volunteer their time at least once to serve on these types of boards. Volunteering to be on the board of a taxing district helps individuals better understand the difficulties of governmental budgeting and finance"

The remaining trustees will fill the vacancy by appointment. For more information email Cherie Stockton, ICC Board Clerk at cstockton@indycc.edu.
