State Board of Community Colleges to hold virtual meeting

 

RALEIGH  -  The State Board of Community Colleges conducts a virtual meeting this month. All State Board Committees will meet via telephone on Thursday, June 19. The full Board meets virtually on Friday, June 20, using the Information Highway and saving lots of gas in the process. 

 

The meeting will originate from the Caswell Building and members will be on four community college campuses across the state.  They will be in Information Highway classrooms that the students they serve use every day. The Board members will participate from Bladen CC in Dublin, College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City, Rowan-Cabarrus CC at the Cabarrus Business & Technology Center in Concord, and Western Piedmont CC in Morganton. 

 

The Board does not usually meet in June, so members often make plans. When the Board does meet, it is because there are pressing issues that cannot wait until July. So is the case this month. Among the agenda items is consideration of new community college presidents for approval. The virtual meetings provide a convenience for members, will help to ensure a quorum, and will save the expense of driving to Raleigh and lodging for the members. This also  means a savings for the State of North Carolina.

 

The numbers to access the Committee meetings are listed on the Agenda. Anyone wishing to attend the State Board meeting on Friday must come to the Caswell Building or to one of the four colleges hosting Board members in their Information Highway rooms.

 

The full agenda follows.
