SCC Board Appoints Tim Cerveny to Fill Vacant At-Large Seat

The Southeast Community College (SCC) (www.southeast.edu) Board of Governors, during a special meeting on January 21 in York, unanimously appointed Tim Cerveny of Wilber to fill the vacant at-large seat on the board. Cerveny, who graduated from SCC in December 1991 with a degree in electromechanical technology, was sworn in during the board’s February 18 meeting in Lincoln. His term ends in mid-January 2021. The Board’s at-large seat was vacated last November upon the death of Steven Ottmann.

Cerveny was one of four candidates selected for interviews from a pool of 31 applicants. Each of the four finalists was asked the same seven questions by Board Chairperson Nancy Seim. After interviews were completed, the board deliberated before voting 8–0 in favor of Cerveny.

Cerveny, manager of resources and transmission at NMPP Energy in Lincoln, grew up on a farm outside of Clatonia and worked as a welder in high school. He secured a job with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) before graduating from SCC. During his 13 years at NPPD, Cerveny held a management position, was involved in the building of a Beatrice power station, and then took a non-management position with the company. He began working at NMPP Energy in June 2016. Cerveny earned a bachelor’s degree in management from Bellevue University in 2013.
