Each elected official will serve a four-year term, as per the institution’s guidelines.
Marianne Virgili of District 2 and Bob Kuusinen of District 5, both current trustees, have yet to announce if they will run for another term. Patty Theobald of District 4 is reaching her term limit and Bob Hartzell of District 6 has decided not to run for a second term.
