The Long Beach Community College (LBCC) District Board of Trustees has begun a nationwide search for a new superintendent-president to succeed Eloy Ortiz Oakley, who is leaving LBCC in late December to become chancellor of the California community college system.
The Board of Trustees has established a 22-member search committee representing LBCC internal and external stakeholders. The committee members will be submitted for approval at the board meeting on Nov. 8, when it is also expected to name an acting superintendent-president to serve until a successor is found.
The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Executive Search Services was selected to conduct the search.
Three forums— one each for faculty, classified staff and the general public— were conducted Oct. 21 to gather input on qualifications to be used in the new president search. The feedback will be incorporated into the job profile.
Applications are due by Jan. 18, 2017, and the Board is expected to select the new superintendent-president in March.
