PURPOSE

emerging issues and trends in the relevant external environments. Second, the Board helps to improve the visibility

on the Board is an important but limited commitment to the College. The Board has no direct responsibilities for
fund raising, student recruitment or other volunteer functions. The Board may become involved in these
activities to the degree it desires. The
Board will meet approximately four times per year. The board will elect an executive committee
of not less than three members, a chair of the executive committee and a vice
chair. The purpose of the executive
committee is to provide leadership to the board. The board may create subcommittees to help
achieve its goals. Attendance to Board
meetings will not necessarily affect Board membership. However, board members are expected to
contribute to the advancement of the mission of the College in some reasonable
fashion. Members will be invited on
occasion to College functions and attendance will not affect Board
membership.
