Whitworth President Beck A. Taylor has been elected to the Council of Independent Colleges’ board of directors. Taylor will serve a three-year term, from Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2018.
The election was held during a Jan. 4 meeting of the board of directors at CIC’s 2015 Presidents Institute, in San Diego, Calif.
“I’m pleased to join the board of the largest association of colleges and universities in the country,” Taylor says. “I believe strongly in private, independent, liberal-arts education, and in the many institutions like Whitworth that deliver high-quality experiences for their students. I hope to serve well the more than 600 institutions of higher learning that are so integral to our country’s success.”

In addition to serving on the board of the CIC, Taylor is also on the boards of the Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities, Thrive By Five Washington, Greater Spokane Incorporated, and Spokane University District Public Development Authority.
“The council is pleased to have Beck Taylor as a board member,” CIC President Richard Ekman says. “The CIC continues to implement many exciting new programs, projects and services, and needs a strong board of directors to oversee their planning and execution. I am certain that Dr. Taylor will serve the council admirably and we look forward to working with him.”
