Favro has been a member of the CCC Board of Trustees since 2010 and has played an instrumental role in guiding the college through a range of challenges and opportunities.

Reflecting on his time as chairperson, Favro expressed his gratitude: “It has been an honor to serve as chairman of the CCC Board of Trustees for the past eight years. The members of the board are very supportive and committed. I am sad to step aside, but it is time, and in the best interest of all, to have fresh eyes and ears to continue the pathway forward. I am very excited with the direction Clinton is going, and I look forward to the many opportunities being created for future students.”
