Board of Governors
The elected 11-member Board of Governors represents five districts, with one member serving at large. Their desire to provide students with the academic skills needed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities, to enhance skills to be competitive in the rapidly changing job market, provide opportunities to earn dual credits, and to offer opportunities for continuing education, personal growth, and enrichment is a challenge they approach with enthusiasm. The Board governs the College, sets policy, approves the budget, and sets the local College tax levy. Board members are re-elected every four years on an alternating basis. The Vice President of Administrative Services and President’s Executive Assistant serve as the treasurer and recording secretary of the Board, respectively.
