Question topics included the candidate’s related skills and experience, college enrollment, representing the college and student support services. 

The consolidated election takes place Tuesday, April 4. Seven candidates are vying for two seats on the board, each of which carry six-year terms. Candidates will appear on the ballot in the following order:

• Kevin Kollins Hedemark, Romeoville
• Richard A. Davis, Lockport
• Alicia Morales, Joliet

JJC is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, all of whom are elected from within the seven-county college district for at-large, staggered, six-year terms. A student representative, appointed annually, is a non-voting member of the board. Residents are asked to select no more than two candidates when marking their ballot. 

More information about the JJC Board of Trustees, including scheduled meeting dates and agendas, is available on the Board of Trustees web page.
