2020 Effective Trusteeship & Board Chair Workshops
DOWNLOAD THE 2020 PROGRAM
General Info
The rewards of trusteeship are many and require a commitment to ongoing education to be an effective trustee. The League is pleased to offer a workshop for both trustees and board chairs to gain a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of board members at California's community colleges.
The Effective Trusteeship and Board Chair Workshops, led by state leaders and experienced trustees, support the WASC Accreditation Standard IV. C. 9., “The governing board has an ongoing training program for board development, including new member orientation.”
NOTE: The Effective Trusteeship and Board Chair Workshops, scheduled January 24-26, 2020, is held in conjunction with the Annual Legislative Conference, January 26-27, 2020. Separate registration is required.
Who Should Attend
All recently elected and appointed trustees should attend the Effective Trusteeship Workshop. The workshop includes training tracks for trustees within the first two years of their term and ongoing education for board members. Student trustees and CEOs will also gain valuable knowledge from this workshop.
The Board Chair Workshop is designed for board presidents, vice presidents, and CEOs. Being a board president is an important leadership role. The chair runs board meetings, fosters teamwork, represents the board, and works closely with the CEO.
The Board Chair Handbook will be distributed. Board presidents and vice presidents are encouraged to attend the Effective Trusteeship Workshop with their new trustees and participate in the Board Chair Workshop in the afternoon.
Topics include
- Board Chair Roles
- Running Effective Meetings
- Handling Difficult Situations
- CEO-Board Chair Relations
