Who Is Most Affected
As the appointee, Mr. Strobel gains a formal governance role with influence over college policies, strategic direction, and budget oversight. However, this is a voluntary, non-compensated position (per RCW 28B.10.190), so there is no direct financial gain.
The board maintains full statutory governance authority over TCC’s operations, budget, and academic programs. This appointment ensures continuity and stability in leadership, supporting consistent institutional direction.
Students benefit indirectly from stable, representative governance that helps ensure accountability, equitable resource allocation, and responsiveness to community needs—especially for low-income, first-generation, and adult learners served by TCC.
Local employers and workforce partners benefit from continued alignment between TCC’s programs and regional economic needs, supported by stable board leadership.
Tacoma residents and the broader South Puget Sound community benefit from continued community representation in higher education leadership, reinforcing democratic oversight of a key public institution.
