Pastor appointed to fill vacancy on CLC board
Jesus Gerena, senior pastor of Iglesia Rebano Condado de Lake (Christian Fellowship of Lake County), has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the seven-member College of Lake County Board. Gerena has been a member of the CLC Lakeshore Campus Advisory Committee since 2017 addressing barriers to access quality education, making college affordable and bringing programs to allow students and graduates to compete in the job market. For the past six years, Gerena has been a commissioner for the Waukegan Housing Authority, working with the board to oversee a capital improvement budget of $200 million to create new housing units in Waukegan for families and seniors. Gerena will serve until April 1 when a successor is elected to fill the remaining two years of the unexpired term.
