TROY — The Montgomery Community College Board of Trustees approved the promotion of Jeanette McBride from the position of accountant to vice president of Administrative Services during their regular meeting on May 8.

McBride will assume her new duties effective July 1, replacing Roger Reynolds, who has been reassigned to a project collecting data from area business and industries to determine how the school is doing with training and employment needs. He will continue in this capacity through the remainder of his contract.

McBride was hired as MCC’s accountant in February. In her recommendation to the board, MCC President Dr. Mary Kirk said, “Ms. McBride has been an extremely quick study, has her bachelor’s in accounting and has far exceeded our expectations in the short time she has been with the college.”

In other business, trustees:

* Reviewed and approved local, state and special funds financial reports for April.

* Approved out-of-state travel for Kirk to attend a meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in Washington, D.C., in June. Kirk is a member of the SACS board.

* Approved a recommendation to employ Julia Kennedy for the position of director of Professional Development and Learning Technologies.

* Agreed to additions to the 2012-2013 student fee chart.

* Approved revisions to the Academic Calendar.

* Approved in-kind transfers to the Forestry Club totaling $2,600.
