The Board of Directors is the Commission’s governing body and is comprised of the president and chair of the Board of Trustees (or his or her designee) of each member college. The board broadly oversees the Commission to ensure that it fulfills its intended purpose. The board also approves the Commission’s policy and legislative positions and strategies.

The officers of the Executive Committee are annually elected by the board and include the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of the Commission.

The Council of Presidents advises the board on policy, legislative and regulatory matters. The council meets regularly to share information on current issues affecting community colleges. It also works closely with the Commission’s executive director to implement strategies and actions.

One trustee delegate and alternate delegate from each college’s Board of Trustees sits on the Commission’s Council of Trustees. The Council is tasked with promoting the Commission’s legislative agenda and strengthening its advocacy programs across the Commonwealth.

Affinity Groups or Committees are composed of key administrators from each college in specific areas, such as academic affairs, public relations or financial matters. These groups provide crucial input on statewide issues, as well as foster inter-institutional communication and information sharing.
