Effective Trusteeship & Board Chair Workshops
General Info
The Effective Trusteeship Workshop is the single best overview of responsibilities required for board members of California’s community colleges. State leaders and experienced trustees will provide comprehensive information on the knowledge and skills necessary to be an effective trustee. There will be ample opportunity to discuss your questions. The 2018 Trustee Handbook will be released at the workshop, along with other important resources.
The Effective Trusteeship and Board Chair Workshops are scheduled in conjunction with the Annual Legislative Conference, January 28-29, 2018. Separate registration is required.
Who Should Attend
All recently elected and appointed trustees should attend the Effective Trusteeship Workshop. Continuing trustees, student trustees, and CEOs are also very welcome, and will gain much from the workshop as well. Board presidents and vice presidents are encouraged to attend the Effective Trusteeship session with their new trustees and participate in the continuing education sessions or the Board Chair Workshop on Saturday afternoon.

The workshop is designed for board presidents, vice presidents, CEOs, and interested trustees. The Board Chair Handbook will be distributed to Workshop attendees.
