Three individuals have been appointed to the Wayne Community College Board of Trustees.

Charles Brogden, Dr. Anthony Slater, and Selena Worrell are the newest members of the board. Slater and Worrell were sworn in at the regular meeting of the board in July, and Brogden took oath earlier this month.

Brogden, a WCC alumnus, is the regional human resources business partner for Franklin Baking Company, where he has worked for 22 years. He was appointed to the WCC Board of Trustees by the Wayne County Board of Commissioners.

Slater serves as establishmentarian and senior pastor at Tehillah Church Ministries in Goldsboro. He is also an author and archbishop metropolitan with over 30 years of ministerial experience. Slater was appointed to the board by the Senate.

Worrell is vice president of operations at Worrell Contracting Co, Inc. and has been in this role for 16 years. She was appointed by the House of Representatives to serve on the College’s board.

By statute, the 58 North Carolina community college boards of trustees each have 12 members appointed to four-year terms plus the student government president serving as an ex officio nonvoting member.

Trustees are appointed by the board of commissioners of the county in which the institution is located, the area’s local board of education, and the General Assembly.

State statute also sets out the board’s role with its institution, giving each “powers to enable it to acquire, hold, and transfer real and personal property, to enter into contracts, to institute and defend legal actions and suits, and to exercise such other rights and privileges as may be necessary for the management and administration of the institution.”
