NEWBURGH – With the sudden resignation of Mount Saint Mary College President Dr. Anne Carson Daly, effective April 15, the board of trustees has begun to review best practices necessary to hire an interim president. James Raimo is currently serving as the acting college president.
“This is the first step in what we intend to be a thorough, deliberate and transparent process to find our next president,” said Dr. Albert Gruner, board chairman.
The three members of the special committee – Sr. Margaret Anderson, Donald Daniels and Anna Halpine, will be working with educational organizations and institutions to assess best practices for the search and succession planning. The committee will make recommendations to the full board prior to its June session.
The five Dominican Sisters who serve on the board support this first step in the search process.
Sister Lorelle Elcock said “We continue to be encouraged by the level of commitment of the board, faculty, administration and staff to the future.”
