Sam Ferguson has devoted the majority of his professional life to the field of adult education. Mr. Ferguson joined the Florida State Department of Education in 1979 and worked in Vocational Education Special Programs where he was involved in the review and subsequent approval of programs for Veteran's Training. In 1984, he was appointed to the State Board of Vocational, Technical, Trade and Business Schools, the early predecessor to the current Commission for Independent Education ("CIE").

Shortly thereafter Mr. Ferguson was appointed the Executive Director of the State Board of Independent Postsecondary Vocational, Technical, Trade and Business Schools. While serving as Executive Director, Mr. Ferguson directed the rewriting of that portion of the Florida Education Code that dealt with private vocational education. The new Code, section 1503, has served as a model for governance of private vocational education and has been adopted as a working framework in several states other than Florida.

Mr. Ferguson was instrumental in the passage of the first state student financial aid program expressly directed to students attending private, postsecondary vocational education institutions. While Executive Director, Mr. Ferguson was recognized as an authority in the governance of private vocational education. He has testified on numerous occasions before such bodies as the Florida Legislature and the Congress of the United States. In 2000, Mr. Ferguson participated in a systematic evaluation of the operations of two Boards, the State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities and the State Board of Nonpublic Career Education. This evaluation resulted in new legislation that merged the two Boards into one Commission for Independent Education and Mr. Ferguson was appointed the Executive Director for the new Commission and in that role, he reorganized the staffs and functions of the two Boards so that the one Commission could operate efficiently and in the best interest of the citizens of the State of Florida.

Mr. Ferguson's leadership in the field of Private Postsecondary Education has been characterized by a desire to foster innovation and creativity in educational institutions while, at the same time, ensuring that graduates possess skills that are relevant to today's and tomorrow's economy.

Shortly after entering the University of Tennessee, Mr. Ferguson put his academic career on hold and answered the call to serve his country in the United States Army. He was a member of the 7th Infantry Division in Korea in 1968 and the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam in 1969. Mr. Ferguson is a distinguished military veteran having been awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, the Vietnam Cross for Gallantry and the Combat Infantry Badge with Commendations. Mr. Ferguson holds the rank of Colonel and is the Deputy MACOM Commander of the 32nd Anti-Aircraft Missile Defense Command for the Florida National Guard.

Following his discharge in 1970, he enrolled at the University of North Carolina where he graduated with honors with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. He attended graduate school at Florida State University and earned his Master's Degree in Public Administration and subsequently enrolled in the Ph.D. program also at Florida State.

Mr. Ferguson is actively involved in numerous state, local and private organizations and serves as a Board member for the National Association of State Administrators and Supervisors of Private Schools, and the Advisory Council for Military Education and now begins a new journey as the Chief Operations Officer of Santoro and Georgetti Postsecondary Educational Consultants to continue his passion of working with and promoting adult education.
