Governor Charlie Baker has announced the reappointment and designation of Fall River resident Joseph A. Marshall to a second year as chair of the Bristol Community College Board of Trustees.
Mr. Marshall is the President and CEO of J. Marshall Associates, a financial planning firm in Fall River. He is a member of the College’s class of 1978.
His appointment was one of several announced last week for the public community college and state university boards. Governor Baker, in speaking of all the appointments, said, “I am thrilled to appoint these distinguished leaders to our Commonwealth’s higher education boards. Their breadth and depth of experience both in their careers and philanthropic activities will be — and in many cases, continue to be — invaluable to our community colleges and universities.”
“We are focused on creating and supporting regional strategies to solve our most difficult challenges, and our institutions of higher education play a central role in making these efforts a success,” said Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito. “Our colleges and universities play a central role in helping to improve education at all levels, and I thank these individuals for stepping forward to serve.”
“I look forward to working with all trustees as we strive to bring the higher education system in Massachusetts to the next level,” said Education Secretary Jim Peyser. “I thank all of the outgoing trustees for their service and contributions to the Commonwealth.”
The news came out on a day when the College was officially opening its Veterans Educational Services Center, a project championed by Mr. Marshall and College President Jack Sbrega. Both Mr. Marshall and President Sbrega are veterans themselves and have worked together to expand services to veterans at the College.
