Dr. Ray Perren as the new president isn’t the only change for Lanier Technical College. Perren, who was unanimously approved by the board of the Technical College System of Georgia, has been taken the helm at a prime time in Lanier Tech’s growth.
“We are excited to have Dr. Perren as our new President,” said Lisa Maloof, Dean of the Winder-Barrow Campus. “He is an experienced and effective leader, and we are fortunate to have him guiding our college.
