“Randy is a tremendous asset to Paul D. Camp Community College and the community,” said PDCCC President Paul Conco. “His insight and experience in workforce has allowed the expansion of programs, consulting services and customized training, and the enhancement of our relationships with leaders in business and industry, government and non-profit partners.”
