CAC-Maricopa-sign-elliott — Jacquelyn Elliott is the finalist for the next president of Central Arizona College.

During a special Governing Board meeting on April 13, the Pinal County Community College District Board of Governors announced Jacquelyn “Jackie” Elliott, PhD, as the final candidate of the Central Arizona College presidential search.

The Board of Governors will host a series of forums at its campuses for a public reception and a chance for community members, staff and students to meet Elliott.

The Maricopa Campus at 17945 North Regent Drive is the venue of the final reception. That is scheduled for April 27 from 1:45 to 3 p.m. in Room A-101.

Elliott has more than 27 years of experience working in higher education, specifically administrative and leadership positions at the community college. For the past five years, she has served as president of North Arkansas College (Northark).

Dr. Elliott’s bio along with a taped version of the search committee interview may be viewed online at www.centralaz.edu/presidentsearch.

CAC’s previous president, Doris Helmich, announced her retirement in October in the middle of a political battle with a group of voters angry over the board’s decision to raise the tax rate.
