Mark Wadlington

Mark Wadlington is the new vice president of business affairs and chief financial officer at Midway College, effective Jan 2. He has been interim CFO since August 2013. He is a certified public accountant, and was a partner with Ray, Foley, Hensley & Co. after operating his own firm, which focused on providing interim CFO services.

Wadlington succeeds Lyen Crews, who resigned to accept a finance position with eCampus online textbooks in Lexington and run, unsuccessfully, as the Republican nominee for state representative in a special election this summer.

"We are pleased Mark is joining our executive leadership team," President John P. Marsden said in a press release. "Mark brings strategic thinking, a collaborative style, great attention to detail, and a combination of integrity, gravitas, and humaneness to the position. He is working diligently to help us implement best practices in our business office and in other areas across campus and prepare for our upcoming reaffirmation visit from our accrediting body."

Wadlington said in the release, "I quickly came to love this place, its people, and the mission of the institution and I look forward to helping chart its future to serve the next generation of students."
