A long-time executive in the steel industry is in line to join the Board of Trustees for the Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ).
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that he’s appointed Steven Hughes to be the next member of that panel overseeing FSCJ operations on the First Coast.
The FSCJ Board of Trustees has up to nine members who are appointed by Florida’s governor. It is the policy and practices organization that sets standards for the school that has four main campuses in Duval County and another three educational centers in that county as well as Nassau County.
Hughes has a career steeped in the company CMC Steel that has more than 200 operations in several states and Europe. The Commercial Metals Co. has steel production sites and metal recycling operations in Florida, where Hughes is a Director of Operations.
Hughes was previously the Texas Works Manager of CMC Steel where he was also the Houston Area Manager of CMC Construction Services. Prior to that, Hughes served as the Director of Operations for CMC Steel Arkansas.
The educational background of Hughes includes a bachelor’s degree he earned in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University. He went on to obtain a master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio where he majored in business administration.
The Florida Senate still must confirm the appointment of Hughes.
