Governor Appoints Oakton President Lee to Task Force
Margaret B. "Peg" Lee, president of Oakton Community College, has been appointed by Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to serve on the Task Force on Higher Education and the Economy, state officials announced.
Chaired by Carrie Hightman, chair of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the task force is charged with the development of a master plan and public agenda for higher education in Illinois. The panel was created by the passage of House Joint Resolution 69, which was unanimously passed in 2007 by both houses of the General Assembly.
"This appointment affords a timely opportunity to continue promoting the value and contributions of two-year institutions to the state's economic engine," said Lee, who lives in Wilmette. "The affordability of education for all residents should remain a top priority."
The governor's appointment is effective March 31, 2008.
