Ceremony held at beginning of January 12 regular Board meeting; both to serve six years
Yavapai Community College District Governing Board members, Mr. Chris Kuknyo and Mr. Mitch Padilla, were sworn in at a ceremony conducted by Tim Carter, Yavapai County School Superintendent, during the Board’s regular monthly meeting held January 12. Both will serve six years as members of the Governing Board.
Mr. Padilla joined the Board in September 2020 as the representative from District #5. This District was represented by Steve Irwin who left the seat earlier in 2020 to run for County Supervisor. No one filed for the District #5 position by the deadline other than Mr. Padilla. Consequently, Mr Padilla was appointed and has served for four months before he was again formally sworn in again at the January meeting.
Mr. Kuknyo represents District 4 of Yavapai County. This seat was previously held by Pat McCarver, who chose not to seek re-election. Her term expired December 31, 2020.
