Molly McClanahan retired from the North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) Board of Trustees which took effect January 31. Trustee McClanahan was appointed to the NOCCCD Board in 1995 to represent Area 4, which includes large portions of the city of Fullerton.

At their January 28 meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to leave Trustee Area 4 vacant until the general election in November 2020. Six members will remain seated on the Board until that time. NOCCCD will announce the open Trustee position in spring 2020 with information on how to run. The filing period for qualified candidates will be July 13 to August 7, 2020.

During her tenure, McClanahan participated in the selection of multiple Chancellors and Presidents for the District, and was instrumental in the passing of Bond Measures X and J, which raised millions of dollars for upgraded facilities at Cypress College, Fullerton College, and North Orange Continuing Education.

Trustee McClanahan was an active NOCCCD Board Member, serving as Trustee representative to the Fullerton Museum Association, the District Audit Committee, the Fullerton College Student Health Advisory Committee, and the District Investment Committee, among others.
