Following an early morning board meeting on Friday, Coconino Community College now has a new president: Leah L. Bornstein, currently chief executive officer of Colorado Mountain College.

The CCC District Governing Board met in special session and voted unanimously to appoint Bornstein to head Coconino Community College, according to a CCC press release.

CCC is a Flagstaff-based community college that serves approximately 5,000 students throughout northern Arizona on six campuses, including two in Flagstaff.

The move to appoint Bornstein comes after she agreed to a contract offer by CCC worth approximately $171,500 per year in salary plus $18,000 in housing allowance, according to Jami Van Ess, CCC’s vice president of business and administrative services.
