HARTFORD - The Board of Governors for Higher Education has elected two new leaders. Albert B. Vertefeuille of Lebanon and Harry H. Penner Jr. of Guilford were elected to two-year terms as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, last month.
The Board of Governors serves as the state's planning agency for higher education. It licenses and accredits academic programs and institutions, reviews public system budget requests and establishes system-wide
policies and guidelines. Seven members of the board are appointed by the governor and four by legislative leaders.
Vertefeuille has served as vice chairman of the board for two years and is a former superintendent of schools in Lebanon. He succeeds Alice V. Meyer, who had chaired the board since 1997.
Penner is president and chief executive officer of the Neurogen Corp., based in Branford. He was appointed to the board in 1998 to fill the unexpired term of Thomas Mondani. Previously he chaired the board's Public Agenda Advisory Council, whose recommendations form the core of the Board's system-wide planning strategy for the next few years.
