By Matt Bishop, Staff Writer

Teresa Moisant is the newest appointment to the OCCC Board of Regents.

Gov. Brad Henry nominated Moisant in April. She is awaiting confirmation by the State Senate.

“It is an honor to be included in [Board of Regents],” she said.

“I have always been passionate about education and serving as a regent will allow me use my energy for something I truly believe in.”

Moisant serves as the President of Moisant Promotional Products. She has served as a judge on the Promotional Products Collegiate Competition and is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma City.

Moisant said the confirmation from the State Senate should come by the third week of May.

She said she is going to attend the OCCC graduation in an observatory role this spring.

Moisant said she is going to be committed to perform to her best. She said her attitude and motivation to strive comes from the ethics she acquired while growing up.

She said she is a team player and will do whatever it takes to help the board achieve its objectives.

OCCC President Paul Sechrist said the college is very fortunate to have Moisant appointed to the Board of Regents.

Moisant will replace Regent Candy Hines on the Board of Regents.
