Being an effective trustee or board chair takes work. The League is pleased to offer a workshop for both trustees and board chairs to learn the duties expected of board members of California Community Colleges. State leaders and experienced trustees will provide comprehensive information on the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective trustee.

In light of current health and safety restrictions due to COVID-19, the 2021 Effective Trusteeship & Board Chair Workshops are being offered in a virtual format.

Who Should Attend
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
