“I’m excited to be selected as the next TVCC Vice President of Instruction and am grateful for the confidence that has been placed in me to help accomplish the TVCC mission in this capacity,” said Elmore.

“Dr. Elmore’s leadership qualities, administrative and supervisory experience, college teaching experience, communication skills, people skills, energetic and positive personality, comprehensive understanding of community colleges, work ethic, and commitment and loyalty to TVCC made her an excellent choice for Vice President of Instruction,” said King.
