The Erie County Community College Board of Trustees has elected EJay Fyke as the new chairperson of the Board.

“I’m grateful to my fellow board members for their support and honored to have the opportunity to serve our community in this role,” said Fyke. “This is especially meaningful to me because I started my professional career more than a decade ago with Empower Erie, working toward the creation of a community college. To now serve as Chairman of the Board is a full-circle moment for me.” 

Fyke currently services at the community affairs manager at Vesper Energy and the executive director of Energize Erie.

“EJay is an important member of our community and has always championed the community college,” said Chris Gray Ph.D., EC3 president. “His leadership and commitment to our institution will be indispensable as the college continues to grow.”
