NMTI is selecting Tinian rep for board
The Northern Marianas Technical Institute’s board of trustees is in the process of selecting a Tinian representative to join the board.
According to NMTI interim chief executive officer Jodina Attao last Wednesday, she and the board’s recently-formed nomination subcommittee were to meet last Friday to review four potential candidates. There is already a Rota representative within the board.
Attao explained last Wednesday that having representatives from Tinian and Rota as board members is mandated by law, but having representation from Saipan’s neighboring islands is important nonetheless. It was earlier reported that NMTI wants to bring its programs to Tinian and Rota in the future.
“We want to establish our presence [on] Rota and Tinian, and we need representatives to speak for the people of Rota and Tinian to determine their needs. …Although we’re all one and the same, there are totally different needs on the islands,” said Attao.
Saipan Tribune was unable to learn if Attao and the subcommittee have already selected a Tinian representative as of press time Monday.
