Montgomery County Community College

About the Board

The College is governed by a fifteen person Board of Trustees who are appointed by the Montgomery County Commissioners to six-year, renewable terms. The Board derives its authority from the Community College Act of 1963, Act 484 P.L.1132.

The Board of Trustees is a policy governing body, focusing its decision making on achieving results that advance the core mission of the College. The Board sets policies that affect student access, curriculum, and the administration of the College, including approving and monitoring an annual operating and capital budget, setting tuition and fees, and hiring and evaluating the President. The Board has oversight responsibilities for buildings, equipment, and furnishings with approval authority for renting, selling, or improving the property, as well as approving contracts with outside vendors doing business with the College.
