According to the board packet for the meeting, Foster will assume the job on February 10, 2020 on a three-year contract for a $215,000 annual salary.
Foster was one the candidates to speak during the campus presidential forum held on Sept. 25.
“My role would be to ensure that I’m sharing the story of this college,” Foster said during the forum. “There’s a lot of great things happening at Las Positas and I believe and I’m assuming that there’s an opportunity to share that story more within the community. I would certainly want to take on that responsibility.”
