2016 Candidate Interview Max Milstein for OCC Trustee
(Crystal A. Proxmire, Oct. 20, 2016)
Oak Park, MI – Max Milstein is one of over a dozen people who are running for Oakland County Community College (OCC) Trustee.  There are three open seats. This voluntary position helps oversee the administration and the budgeting process of the institution. Those running include Evan Agnello, Susan E. Anderson, Kathleen Anna Bertolini, Jessica Gingell, Pam Jackson, Thomas W. Kelly, Thomas E. Kuhn, Terrell VanCleef Lockart, Max C. Milstein, Emily Mixter, Charles E. Murphy, Christian Noordhoorn, James Paul O’Rilley, John Randle Sr, E. Wadsworth Sherrod III, Eric J. Siegel, and Tim Terpening.
When asked why he is running, Milstein said “I was initially asked to run by someone who wanted there to be more young people on the board of trustees. There were some students at OCC who are bringing concerns to the board who felt their concerns are not being properly heard, And people felt that having people who themselves for a little bit closer to their own college experience would just bring a new perspective to the board. I thought about it and I decided that I might bring that new perspective.”
In his interview with oc115, Milstein talked about the costs of textbooks, class cancellations, transfer credits, marketing ideas and enrollment decline.  He also talked about being an attorney and what skills he would bring to the OCC Board.
