ROCKFORD Five candidates are running for two six-year Rock Valley College Board of Trustees seats held by Board Chairman Patrick Murphy and Trustee Bob Trojan.
Neither Murphy, who was first elected for six years in 2013 and then re-elected to a two-year term in 2019, or Trojan, who was elected to a six-year term in April 2015, are seeking re-election in April.
Trojan, an engineer and a founder of Rockford Linear Actuation Inc., said he is stepping down after a busy term on the board. I have done a good six years and I just decided to retire from Rock Valley College trusteeship, Trojan said.
