DR. DENNIS CROWSON ANNOUNCES PLANS TO RUN FOR BLINN BOARD
Another person has expressed interest in running for the Blinn Board of Trustees this May.
Dr. Dennis Crowson has announced his intention to run for At-Large Position 3, currently held by David Sommer. Sommer stated earlier this week that he would not seek re-election, after seven years on the board.
Dr. Crowson spent nearly 27 years at Blinn, serving in roles such as Vice President of Student Services, Dean of Admissions and Records, Registrar, and Computer Analyst. Upon retiring from Blinn, he began work as a software consultant.
After earning an Associate’s of Science degree from Blinn, Dr. Crowson went on to receive a Bachelor’s of Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, a Master’s of Business Administration from Sam Houston State University, and a Doctorate in Higher Education Leadership from the University of Nebraska.
A lifelong resident of Washington County, Dr. Crowson said he has been a board member of organizations such as the Washington County Boys and Girls Club, Chamber of Commerce, and Little League.
Dr. Crowson said he’s been thankful for what Blinn has done for him and his family, so he’d like to be able to give something back.
Dr. Crowson acknowledged the College will face many tests over the next few years, particularly with the continued growth in the surrounding areas.
This follows several announcements within the past few days, concerning the Blinn Board of Trustees. After longtime trustee Atwood Kenjura stated at Tuesday’s board meeting he would not run for re-election to At-Large Position Two, local businessman Jim Kolkhorst announced Thursday he would run for that position. Also on Thursday, Board Chair Charles Moser said he would run for re-election to At-Large Position One.
Wednesday was the first day for candidates to file for a spot on May’s ballot. The final day to file is February 15th. Early voting begins April 22nd, while Election Day is May 4th.
