Dr. Jayda Spillers has been named Chancellor of Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College (NLTCC). Spillers will be taking over for Chancellor Earl Meador who has been a leader at NLTCC since 2017. Meador announced his intention to step down in February.
Dr. Spillers, who has a Doctorate in Education, Curriculum, and Instruction from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, was previously serving as the Vice Chancellor of Academics and Student Affairs at NLTCC. Spillers was one of three finalists for this position. She was chosen over Lawrence Brandyburg, Interim President of Bishop State Community College and Jerry Thomas, Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at National Park College in Hot Springs, Arkansas, after a series of forums with members of the community, faculty, and student body.
