Matthew Schore is the newest member of the Kankakee Community College board of trustees. He was appointed at the board’s March meeting to fill the term of Michael Proctor, who died unexpectedly last month.
Schore brings a strong background in business leadership and community engagement to the college’s governing body. A resident of Bourbonnais, Schore previously lived in Chicago for 10 years and is vice president of sales and marketing at A.N. Webber Logistics in Kankakee. A.N. Webber is a family-owned transportation and logistics company. The logistics segment of the business provides personalized, reliable third-party logistics and cost-effective freight management solutions. Schore oversees sales strategy and operations, helping manage thousands of shipments annually across North America.
As a member of KCC’s board, Schore will help guide the college’s strategic direction, ensuring KCC continues to meet the evolving needs of students, employers, and the broader community.
“Matt brings a deep understanding of our community, as well as a passion for education and workforce development,” said Bill Orr, chairman of the KCC board of trustees. “His leadership experience and commitment to service will be tremendous assets to the college and our students.”
“It’s exciting when a KCC alumnus not only achieves success in their career but also volunteers and gives back to the college that supported them,” said KCC President Dr. Michael Boyd. “Matt understands firsthand the impact KCC can have on students’ lives.”
A graduate of Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School, Schore earned an associate degree from KCC and transferred to Northern Illinois University, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in business.
Schore is also chairman of the board for the Kankakee County Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Riverside Foundation Board and the KCC Foundation board of directors. He has also supported initiatives such as the Ray Ollie Memorial Project and mentored students through the Kankakee County CEO program.
Schore will serve as trustee until the next election in April 2027. Schore and his wife, Sarah, have two children.
