OGLESBY- The Illinois Valley Community College board Thursday honored former 10-year trustee Melissa Olivero of Peru for her leadership and service to the college.
Olivero, who resigned in July, was elected to six-year terms in April 2009 and April 2015. She served as board vice-chair for two years, then chair from May 2013 to April 2017.
Olivero is also a veteran of the U.S. Army and Army Reserves.
“Melissa and her husband, attorney Douglas Olivero, are among our most consistent and generous IVCC Foundation supporters,” said board chair Jane Goetz.
“We will remember Melissa for her 10 years of positive leadership and wise guidance to the benefit of students, faculty, administration and the citizens of the district,” Goetz said. She then presented Olivero a commemorative glass-encased clock.
