Board of Trustees Meetings

Meetings of the Board of Trustees are open to the public. Citizens who wish to present any matter of concern to the College shall make a written request to the Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trustees on the Speaker Request Form prior to the meeting.  The Board may, in case of emergency, by majority vote, give visitors who have not presented a written request an opportunity to present matters of concern to the Board. The Chairperson shall allot a visitor, at the appropriate time, not more than five (5) minutes, unless the time is increased or decreased by a majority of the Board.
