Gov. Doug Burgum will appoint the new board member to replace John Warford, who chose not to seek another four-year term on the board. Warford’s term ends June 30.
The eight-member Board of Higher Education oversees North Dakota’s 11 public colleges and universities.
Campbell, Goos and Sogard were all unanimous choices, according to a news release from the Department of Public Instruction.
Campbell is a vice president and chief human resources officer for Sanford Health. Goos is an electrician for Advanced Electrical Systems LLC of West Fargo who holds a doctorate degree in chemistry. Sogard is an attorney and chairman of American State Bank & Trust Co. of Williston.
The state constitution requires four of the nominating committee’s five members to agree on each finalist. State Superintendent of Schools Kirsten Baesler chairs the nominating committee.
