The president of one technical college in Georgia and vice presidents of two others have been named as finalists to become the next president of Lanier Technical College. A selection committee named Joanne Tolleson, vice president of institutional effectiveness and operations at Lanier Tech; Jamie Loyd, vice president of economic development at Columbus Technical College in Columbus; and Ray Perren, president at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College in Valdosta, as finalists. Six candidates were interviewed to replace Russell Vandiver, who is retiring at the end of March after 37 years at Lanier Tech, including the last three as president.
