Why are you running for a place on the Collin College board of trustees?
Place 7
Steve Cone
I currently serve as the incumbent trustee in Place 7. I was selected from a long list of distinguished applicants to fill a vacancy created when founding Trustee Tino Trujillo retired. I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing to serve our students and the Collin College community.
Mike Gould
My service to this board will allow a depth in the decision-making process that is seen from a ‘ground level’ up, from the student to the faculty to the staff. My goal is to drive the board in a student-centric direction, keeping a strong focus on the county taxpayer.
Jim Orr
I want to use my experience to give back to the community. I have had a very intense career in technology planning and strategy. This experience creates a unique combination of skills that fits the requirements of a board member in this time of rapidly changing learning models and the necessary adoption of new technology.
Collin Kennedy
My wife and I and most of our friends have children who will be entering their college years sooner than we could believe. I am running for Place 7 on the Collin College board of trustees because I have a vested interest in ensuring that Collin College remains an elite and affordable higher-education option for young adults in our community.

Place 8
Bob Collins
I have served and contributed as we began the college and continue to be excited about what we are doing as we serve approximately 53,000 students. We have had great accomplishments and unquestionable success. However, our greatest challenges remain ahead. ... With the challenges and our population growth, experienced and visionary strategic planning and decision-making will be critical.
Ken Roberts
For many years I have wished to run for this position. Presently, I am employed in a position which will allow me the flexibility to work hard for this board. I bring versatile experiences not present on the board: 35 years human resources experience and 15 years in the cutting edge, high-tech large corporate world.
