TCTC fills Three Leadership Positions

Tri-County Technical College filled three key leadership positions by hiring Grayson Kelly as executive director of the Foundation, Dan Cooper as director of economic development and government relations and promoting Galen DeHay to senior vice president. DeHay, who spent 12 years in the classroom, as a biology instructor and science department head at Tri-County, has been interim provost for the past two years while serving as assistant vice president for instruction and institutional effectiveness. Kelly, who joined the College on Oct. 13, will provide direct leadership to the Foundation, alumni and grants functions of the College. He reports directly to President Ronnie Booth. Cooper will work closely with local and state leaders to promote economic development in the three-county service area by teaming up with local economic development alliances, working with industrial prospects and serving as a legislative and governmental affairs liaison for the College. He also will provide direct leadership and oversight to the Corporate and Community Education Division in support of their efforts to meet the training needs of local businesses and industries.
