Fayetteville Technical Community College announces the appointment of Dr. Vikki Andrews to the College’s Board of Trustees. Dr. Andrews was officially sworn in on Nov.12 by the Honorable Judge Rosalyn Hood.

Appointed by the Cumberland County Commissioners, Dr. Andrews succeeds Esther Thompson and will serve a four- year term concluding on June 30, 2029.

A retired U.S. Army officer, Dr. Andrews brings a distinguished record of leadership and public service to FTCC. She currently serves as chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party Veterans & Military Families Caucus and previously led the Cumberland County Democratic Party for two terms.

education, service and advocacy.

FTCC celebrates Dr. Andrews’ appointment as yet another step forward in advancing its goal of connecting education, leadership and community engagement for the greater good.
