Messages from the Board of Trustees
Dear QCC Community,
As the search for QCC’s next president moves forward, I am pleased to share several important updates and upcoming opportunities for our community to participate in the process.
The Board of Trustees has selected AGB Search as our search partner. AGB Search brings extensive experience in higher education executive searches and will assist the College throughout the process of identifying and recruiting highly qualified candidates to lead QCC.
In addition, the Presidential Search Committee has been established and approved by the Board. Thank you to the many faculty, staff, students, trustees, and other members of our community who expressed an interest in serving. The committee will work with AGB Search to help develop the Presidential Profile, review candidates, participate in interviews, and ultimately recommend finalists to the Board.
An important next step is hearing directly from the QCC community. AGB Search will conduct 50-minute listening sessions during the upcoming weeks. These sessions are an opportunity to share your perspective on QCC’s priorities and the qualities, experience, and leadership characteristics that should guide the search for our next president.
We encourage you to attend one of the following listening sessions:
- Alumni & Friends: Wednesday, October 21 at 5:00 PM
- Staff (Session 1): Friday, October 23 at 10:00 AM
- Faculty (Session 1): Friday, October 23 at 11:00 AM
- Students: Monday, October 26 at 11:00 AM
- Board of Trustees & QCC Foundation Board: Monday, October 26 at 4:00 PM
- Faculty (Session 2): Tuesday, October 27 at 2:00 PM
- Staff (Session 2): Tuesday, October 27 at 3:00 PM
In addition, we encourage you to complete the confidential input survey by Tuesday, October 27. Responses will be provided directly to AGB Search and will help inform the development of the Presidential Profile. The survey also includes an opportunity to submit confidential nominations for the position.
Your participation is important. Input from the listening sessions and survey will help inform the Presidential Profile and support the next phase of the search, including the recruitment of candidates.
Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement. We look forward to keeping you informed as the search progresses. For more updates, including the Presidential Search Committee members, please visit the Presidential Search website.
Sincerely,
Dr. Linda Maykel

Dear QCC Community,
One of the most important responsibilities of the Board of Trustees is selecting the next leader of our college. Today, I am pleased to officially announce the launch of the search for the next President of Quinsigamond Community College.
As we begin this important process, we are committed to ensuring that the voices of our campus community help shape the future of QCC. An essential part of the search will be the formation of a Presidential Search Committee, and we invite interested members of our community to be considered for service on this committee.
If you would like to be considered, please complete the Presidential Search Committee Interest Form by 5:00 p.m. on September 15, 2026. I also encourage you to share this opportunity with colleagues who may be interested in contributing their perspectives and expertise to this important work.
In accordance with the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education Presidential Search Guidelines, the committee will consist of 9 to 13 members and will reflect the broad range of perspectives, experiences, and constituent groups that make up the QCC community. At a minimum, the committee will include three Trustees, one representative from the Department of Higher Education, and at least one representative from the college's major constituencies, including students, faculty, professional staff, non-unit staff, and support staff.
The Search Committee will play a pivotal role in helping define the leadership qualities, priorities, and vision that will guide Quinsigamond Community College into its next chapter. Committee members should be aware that this work will require a significant time commitment.
The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees will review all interest forms and will work to ensure the committee reflects the many voices and experiences represented across our college community. Selected committee members will be notified by mid-October.
Please know that while we welcome and value your interest in serving on the Presidential Search Committee, submitting this form does not guarantee an appointment. Given the committee's limited size, not all volunteers can be selected. However, there will be a variety of opportunities for members of the QCC community to engage in the search process and share their perspectives.
To support transparency throughout the process, a dedicated presidential search website has been created and can be found at www.qcc.edu/search.The site will serve as a central resource for updates, timelines, committee information, and opportunities for engagement.
I look forward to providing an update on the presidential search process and sharing additional opportunities for involvement at All College Day on Tuesday, September 8.
If you have any questions about the presidential search process or committee membership, please contact presidentialsearch@qcc.mass.edu.
Sincerely,
Dr. Linda Maykel
