Dedicated trustee J. Bentley Peters of Highland Avenue
Long-time member and former chair of the Board of Trustees, J. Bentley Peters of Elgin will return to serve Manchester College as an honorary member.
The board of the northern Indiana college has granted honorary status to Peters, who is a member of the Highland Avenue Church of the Brethren in Elgin. He will serve in an ongoing advisory role, and plans to participate in board meetings and discussions in a non-voting capacity.
Honorary trustees are a wonderful resource for the Board because they bring the wisdom of experience to discussions and issues, said President Jo Young Switzer. By his service, Bentley made the College stronger, and will continue to strengthen the College. Peters left the Manchester board in December, following two years as chair.
Peters, a 1962 religion and philosophy graduate of the College, has served both as the Illinois/Wisconsin District representative for the Church of the Brethren and as a trustee-at-large. A graduate of Bethany Theological Seminary, he has served the denomination in various capacities. He owns a consulting company and is a retired senior vice president of Mutual Aid Exchange.
