Oakton Trustee Wins State Award

Oakton Community College trustee emerita Joan B. Hall is the winner of the 2005 Ray Hartstein Trustee Achievement Award, presented by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association. Hall will be honored Friday, June 17, at the annual ICCTA awards banquet in Chicago.

"Joan is a mentor and a model of how to be and what to do," said Margaret Lee, Oakton president. "She sees the big picture, believes in the College's mission, and supports the people who carry out that mission. She also holds people accountable and asks tough questions."

A Park Ridge resident since 1966, Hall was elected to Oakton's Board of Trustees in 1985. During her 20-year tenure, she has held the offices of chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and liaison to the Oakton Community College Educational Foundation.

Throughout the years, Hall has served as lobbyist for community college issues in the Illinois legislature and Congress. She also maintains an active presence in civic, educational, and political organizations. She currently works with the Republican Women of Park Ridge and Maine Township Republican Women's Club, and is a past president of both organizations.
