Richard A. Anderson and William M. Griffin, who have a combined 71 years of experience serving on the College of Lake County board, got a proper send-off at their final board meeting on Tuesday night.
Both men s experience at the college dates back to the 1970s, when they were students attending class in temporary trailers. Both Anderson and Griffin elected not to seek additional 6-year terms in the spring election.
That we are now here with a $110 million-plus budget; that we have now 1,200 employees, three major campuses, Griffin said, it s just rewarding to have played a part in that.
