RIFLE, Colorado — Teri Kinkade, CEO of the West Garfield Campus of Colorado Mountain College and a college vice president, will be leaving her position at the end of July to relocate to Delta County.
Nancy Genova, an executive vice president of the college and former longtime dean of its Roaring Fork Campus in Glenwood Springs, Spring Valley and Carbondale, will step in as West Garfield's interim CEO.
Kinkade, who has worked at the college for 16 years, is moving away from Rifle. Together, she and her soon-to-be husband, Tarey Archer, are moving to Delta where she will be working for the Vision Home and Community Program in Paonia.
Operating under the umbrella of Delta County School District 50 J, that program works with parents of their home-schooled children. Through the program, learners and their families are able to integrate parent-guided learning, community-based classes and tutoring, and traditional public education.
Kinkade plans to keep her ties with CMC on a part-time basis, as training and project opportunities arise.
“Our work at Colorado Mountain College is all about creating better futures,” she said in a press release. “I have loved my time at the college. I don't know of any other place that changes lives in such a positive way.
“My departure from CMC is to follow a future path for me, my fiancé and our families,” she added. “We are creating a different kind of future for ourselves … (and) looking forward to working and serving in the Delta County area.”
“We'll greatly miss Teri,” said CMC President Dr. Stan Jensen. “She's been a strong leader and an enthusiastic, energetic advocate for her students and community. We wish her the best in this next chapter in her life and career.”
Jensen said he expects Genova to hold the position of interim CEO at least through the fall semester. Administrators are currently discussing a schedule for advertising the position.
“Sixteen years is a long time to work for us,” Genova said of her colleague. “Teri's really grown in this institution, and has brought many, many good things. I don't know of anyone who has touched so many students.”
