The Board is pleased to announce Dave Mingus has been approved and seated at
the July 2019 board meeting.
Mingus is active
in our community and has served in a variety of important roles. He’s
most widely known for over 30 years of public service on the East Peoria City Council,
including roles as mayor and commissioner. He is currently the CEO of
Tazwood Center for Wellness, a non-profit behavioral health care provider, and
has served in this position since 2012. Prior, he was Executive Director
of Neighborhood House. His educational experience includes serving as
president of the East Peoria Grade School Board of Education, vice president of
the East Peoria Community High School Board of Education, and dean of students

“I couldn’t be
more pleased to have an experienced leader like Dave Mingus join our Board of
Trustees,” said ICC President Dr. Sheila Quirk-Bailey. “He brings to the
table a great passion for our community, and is eager to help ICC with our
mission of changing people’s lives.”
Mingus holds a
master’s degree in counseling and human development from Bradley University, a
bachelor’s degree in sociology from Eureka College, and an associate degree in
general education from ICC. He is a certified reciprocal alcohol and drug
abuse counselor, a licensed clinical professional counselor, and an instructor
at ICC.
“I have observed,
firsthand, the benefits that ICC provides to this community and its
residents. ICC not only prepares individuals to advance to a four-year
institution, but, just as importantly, helps them develop new skills to better
their standing and achieve a living wage,” said Mingus. “Illinois Central
College has been very significant in my life and I appreciate the opportunity
to give back.”
