• Provide leadership opportunities for members of the AACC Board of Directors (who serve as Chairs).
Valentine has had faculty and administrative positions in higher education for more than 20 years and was selected in May 2011 to serve as Chancellor for Ivy Tech’s Wabash Valley region. She earned her doctorate degree in higher education and master’s degree in public administration from Iowa State University.
