MOHAVE COUNTY — Mohave College board members have officially launched the search for the next President of Mohave College. To assist with this important process, the Board has engaged the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT), a nationally recognized leader in executive searches for higher education.
ACCT will guide the College and Board through all phases of the search, including development of the Presidential Profile, candidate recruitment, and extensive consultation throughout the process. Dr. Deborah DiThomas, Ed.D., will serve as the lead search consultant.
Public Input on Presidential Profile
A critical first step is the development of a Presidential Profile that reflects the needs and aspirations of the College and the communities it serves. To gather broad input, Mohave College will host four public forums on September 30 and October 1, 2025.
Students, employees, and community members are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts on the qualities, characteristics, and qualifications the next President should possess, as well as the challenges and opportunities ahead for Mohave College. The forums will be facilitated by Dr. DiThomas.
Public Forum Schedule
- September 30, 4:00 p.m. (AZ) – Colorado City Campus, Room 301
- October 1, 9:00 a.m. – Lake Havasu City Campus, Room 204
- October 1, 12:00 p.m. – Bullhead City Campus, Room 508
- October 1, 5:00 p.m. – Neal Campus Kingman, Room 1103
All forums will also be accessible remotely at: https://mohave.zoom.us/j/87105218794. No RSVP is required.
Online Survey Option
For those unable to attend, ACCT has developed a short, anonymous survey. The feedback collected will help shape the draft Presidential Profile.
Moving Forward
“We want this process to be inclusive and transparent,” said the Board of Governors in a joint statement. “These forums and the survey are opportunities for our students, employees, and community to play an important role in identifying the qualities needed in the next President of Mohave College.”
More information about the search process, including a link to the survey, are available at the college website Mohave.edu/President-Search.
