Fayetteville Technical Community College swore in two community members for their Board of Trustees on Monday, Oct. 18.
The two new members are Elaina Ball and Esther R. Thompson.
Thompson was previously on the Board of Trustees, but took a four-year hiatus. She told the board yesterday that she is happy to return. Thompson is also a local businesswoman, and was appointed by the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners.
