V. Advisory Groups to the President

The President is authorized to appoint appropriate lay advisory committees.   These committees are for the purpose of assisting with the identification and measurement of program needs, particularly in the technical, vocational, and general adult education areas.

Lay committees are advisory in nature and make their recommendations to the College administration.   The administration utilizes these recommendations in preparing courses to be recommended to the Board of Regents in the respective areas of assignment.

The President seeks the advice of appropriate College groups when working with the Board of Regents to establish policies or make decisions which impact specific employee groups.   The advisory groups are as follows:

1. President's Council
