Girdon − who heads the business administration department in the college's School of Business and Computer Technologies − was selected during the IACBE's annual conference in San Antonio, Texas, from April 5-8.
The commissioners are responsible for setting expectations and reviewing self-study and site-visit reports for purposes of granting accreditation to institutions with business programs.
The IACBE is one of only three business-degree accrediting bodies for colleges and universities in the United States and abroad.
