AUSTIN, Texas – Texas State Technical College (TSTC), the state’s leader in technical education, announces the election of Curtis Cleveland as chairman of the TSTC Board of Regents.
Cleveland started his year-long term as chairman on November 12. He was preceded by John Hatchel, who had served in the role since 2018.
Before being appointed as a member of the TSTC Board of Regents by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2017, Cleveland had served as a director and president of The TSTC Foundation for 12 years.
TSTC Chancellor & CEO Mike Reeser noted that Cleveland’s experience greatly benefits him in his new position.
“Thanks to his years of service to students during his role on The TSTC Foundation board, Mr. Cleveland brings a deep understanding of TSTC’s unique technical training mission to his new role as board chair. The regents of TSTC could not have made a better choice as their chair.”
Cleveland, a Waco native, is employed at Central Texas Iron Works (CTIW) as vice president of sales. He has 30-plus years of experience with CTIW, the largest structural steel supplier for building chemical plants, power plants and refineries in North America. His knowledge and expertise are invaluable to TSTC as it continues its mission to place more Texans in great-paying jobs.
“As a volunteer in my hometown of Waco and for the state of Texas, workforce training has always been my passion. It makes a difference in a family’s future and enhances economic development for our communities,” Cleveland said.
Cleveland graduated from Waco’s Richfield High School in 1971 before attending Texas Tech University, where he earned a B.B.A. in business management in 1975.
On a personal note, Cleveland and his wife, Jana, enjoy spoiling their four grandchildren, who live in Ft. Worth and Waco.
