Tammy Thompson, public relations coordinator at West Kentucky Community and Technical College, was elected board secretary to the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) Board of Regents, during a board meeting in Versailles on Friday.

Thompson, a staff representative on the KCTCS Board of Regents, will fill the vacancy created by Regent Betsy Flynn's term expiration in September 2016. She will serve as secretary through June 30, 2017.
 
Thompson, who has worked at WKCTC since 1993, was elected by KCTCS staff members during a special election to fill four vacant board positions in 2015. A McCracken County resident, Thompson received an associate in applied science degree in 1989 from Paducah Community College (now known as WKCTC) and a bachelor's degree in radio and television from Murray State University in 1991. Prior to accepting the position as public relations coordinator in 2009, Thompson worked as a television producer/director for WKCTC's television department for 16 years.

During Friday's meeting, the board received positive results from KCTCS's annual independent financial audit for the fiscal year 2015-16.  The opinion issued by Crowe Horwarth LLP was an "unmodified opinion," the highest opinion offered by public accounting firms. KCTCS has received an unmodified opinion every year since its inception in 1998.

"We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this audit," said KCTCS Board of Regent Chair Marcia L. Roth. "It clearly demonstrates KCTCS' commitment to strong stewardship and fiscal responsibility, which is key to accomplishing our role in fueling the state's economy by being the primary provider of workforce training and providing Kentuckians with a clear path to finding a job."
