Media release: The Chattahoochee Technical College Board of Directors announced Tuesday the selection of two women to serve as chair and vice-chair for the upcoming fiscal year. Taking on the role of chair of the 15-member board will be Mitzi Moore of Marietta, while the role of vice-chair will go to Debbie Underkoffler of Marietta.

"We are very fortunate to have board members with a variety of talents, extensive public service experience, and a commitment to excellence in education," said Ron Newcomb, President of Chattahoochee Technical College. "The expertise and commitment of Ms. Moore and Ms. Underkoffler will be great assets to the college as we work to accomplish next year's goals."

Moore is the owner, founder and President of Sundial Plumbing Services, a full-service plumbing contractor firm. A member of the Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers of the Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board, her responsibilities encompass the general day to day management of Sundial Plumbing Services, a company of 50 employees and 32 trucks. She has served on various local boards and has received numerous awards and honors, including her recently being recognized as one of four Georgians regarded as GeorgiaTrend's 2012 Power Women. She will serve as Chattahoochee Technical College board chair for a one-year term – July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

Underkoffler is the President of North Georgia Staffing in Kennesaw, which provides full-service staffing for virtually every kind of business. She has over 15 years' experience as a staffing professional. She is very involved in community activities and has served on many local boards. She and her husband, Larry, live in Marietta, Georgia.

Chattahoochee Technical College's board serves both in a community advisory capacity and in a limited administrative capacity, performing certain oversight responsibilities as designated by state board policy. The local board is comprised of members from the business and industrial communities from six counties in the service area (Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Gilmer, Paulding and Pickens counties). Board members are selected because of their experience, ability, and dedication to deal with issues that relate to the mission of the college.
