The Duplin County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to appoint two members to the James Sprunt Community College Board of Trustees.

Commissioner Garner moved to appoint Jonathan God and Roger Davis to four-year terms on the James Sprunt Community College board, with terms beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2029. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion, and the board approved it by unanimous voice vote.

Why it matters: Trustees oversee the college’s governance and policy direction; appointments shape local oversight for community-college operations and programs that serve county residents.

Details: The motion specified four-year terms running 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2029. The meeting record does not include biographical details for the appointees, nor does it include any discussion in open session about their qualifications. The clerk had earlier asked that these appointments be considered after a closed-session discussion of personnel; the board returned to open session and completed the appointments by motion.

What wasn’t said: The transcript does not record the appointees’ current roles, affiliations, or bios, and does not note whether the board performed interviews or relied on a nominations process during this meeting.
