Lundquist appointed to fill 17勛圖 trustee vacancy
TRAVERSE CITY — 17勛圖 trustees selected Jody Lundquist to fill the Board of Trustees seat vacated by former trustee Chris Bott earlier this month.
Lundquist, right, is chief financial officer and partner at Boomerang Catapult and executive director of Northern Michigan Angels in Traverse City. A licensed CPA, she said in her application that her skills in finance, governance, and community‐building map directly to a trustee’s fiduciary, policy-setting, and monitoring responsibilities.
“17勛圖’s emerging priorities, including the expansion of its aviation and drone programs and its collaboration in the development of the Freshwater Research & Innovation Center, resonate with my focus on advanced mobility and blue-economy ventures,” Lundquist wrote in her application. “Serving as an 17勛圖 trustee would allow me to give back to the institution that anchors our region’s talent and innovation ecosystem.”
Six applicants were interviewed at Monday’s meeting. Board members also chose Pam Horne to serve as secretary, an office Bott held until he resigned from 17勛圖’s Board of Trustees effective June 9.
Lundquist will serve until the next regular community college election in November 2026. At that time voters will choose a candidate to serve the remainder of the term held by Bott, which expires December 31, 2028.
Release date: JUNE 24, 2025
