Policy Title: COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

East Central Community College (ECCC) full-time faculty and staff members are involved in institutional governance through their service on various councils and/or committees. Service on these councils and/or committees provides employees with the opportunity for input in the development of college policies and procedures and for recommendations that may result in administrative action. The Executive Council will be led by the College President and will meet several times each term for the purpose of ensuring communications between and among divisions and to consider recommendations for administrative action. College-wide councils (Instructional, Finance, Student Services, and Public Information) will meet periodically throughout each term as determined by the Vice President assigned to lead each council. It is anticipated that committees will meet at least once per term unless they are designated as ad hoc committees. Ad hoc committees will meet when circumstances warrant the need.

ECCC’s council and committee governance structure will consist of the following councils and committees:
