The Forsyth Tech Foundation announced a leadership transition as Precious Quire-McCloud, Senior Vice President for Diversity and Social Responsibility at Truliant Federal Credit Union, succeeded Brent Collins, Senior Vice President at Bank of America, as board chair.

Collins, reflecting on his impactful five-year tenure, highlighted the Foundation’s crucial achievements: “We’ve successfully reduced financial barriers, opening doors to life-changing education for many families.” During his leadership, Forsyth Tech earned national recognition as one of just 10 U.S. colleges designated a Leader College by Achieving the Dream, affirming its role in promoting equity and economic mobility.

“Our work gives hope and strengthens our state’s workforce,” Collins noted, emphasizing the lasting impact of the Foundation’s efforts.

Quire-McCloud, a dedicated four-year board member, looks forward to building on this strong foundation. “Community colleges are vital catalysts for change,” she stated, “improving access to higher education, developing innovative workforce pathways, and driving economic progress in our community.”

Expressing her vision, Quire-McCloud added, “We’ll continue our core mission while exploring new ways to amplify our impact in Forsyth and Stokes counties, honoring the great work that’s been done.”

The Foundation remains committed to addressing non-academic barriers through its support programs, including scholarships, finish line grants, and the Forsyth Tech Cares initiative.
