(From Crowder College)Crowder College Board of Trustees voted to name Scott Wade, Board of Trustee member for Newton County Monday, August 17. Wade is filling the remaining term of Diane Andris, who served on the Board for 30 years.

He is a longtime member of the Neosho community and previously served on the Crowder College Foundation Board from 2013 to 2021, serving as president the last five years.
“I care deeply about Crowder College and its continued success,” stated Wade. “It’s a privilege to follow in the footsteps of Diane Andris. I look forward to continuing her legacy of service to the college, its students, and our community.”
“We had four great candidates for Diane’s seat on the Board, stated Andy Wood”, Board Chair. “Every one of them embodied servant-leadership and would be great board members. Scott’s history of involvement with Crowder is what stood out. I have known Scott my entire life. Scott has demonstrated servant-leadership in what he and Chris have given back to the community. Scott will be a fantastic addition to our Board.”
Wade will serve until the next election, which will be April 2027.
