AS THE NEWLY ELECTED BOARD CHAIR FOR THE KENTUCKY COMMUNITY and Technical College System, Lisa Desmarais understands her mission will be to prepare all Kentuckians for the workforce. As someone who’s known her for many years, Gateway Community and Technical College President/CEO Dr. Fernando Figueroa is confident she is up to the task. “We’re very excited here in Northern Kentucky for Lisa,” said Figueroa. “What Lisa brings to her position is a real focus on economic and workforce development and a real appreciation for the potential of KCTCS to serve Kentucky in those fields. The more voices we have out of Northern Kentucky that are involved in the statewide conversations, the better.” Desmarais is ready to get those conversations started now and well into the future.
