(MA) President Margaret McKenna steps down from the CIC Board of Directors this year, the Board and staff of CIC salute her for her extraordinary contributions to the Council. McKenna has served on CIC’s Board for nine years and on the Executive Committee of the Board for the past six years—two years as vice chair for programs (January 1998 to January 2000), two years as chair of the Board (January 2000 to January 2002), and two years as past chair (January 2002 to January 2004). As Board chair, she presided over the Council during a critical transition period between presidents, and took the lead in the search process that selected CIC President Richard Ekman to succeed Allen Splete. “Her leadership during the transition helped ensure that the Council continued to run smoothly and was crucial in finding the right candidate for leading CIC forward,” said Mary Pat Seurkamp, president of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland and current chair of the CIC Board. McKenna said her goal as Board chair was to “engage both the Board and the CIC membership in the workings of CIC and its programs, to make the work of the Executive Committee and the Board more transparent, and to involve all Board members in serving as a better source of program ideas for the Council.” McKenna was instrumental in forming a Nominations Committee for the first time that solicits nominations for the Board from the CIC membership and makes recommendations to the Executive Committee.
