2002 SBCC CALENDAR COMMITTEE, Peter D. Hans, Chair
The Board will be asked to approve the 2002 SBCC Board Calendar at the October 2001 Meeting. The committee recommends that the Board meet ten times next year, and that the Board not meet in the months of June and December. If by circumstance there is a need for the Board to act on an item in June and December, then potentially the Board could do so by phone, the information highway, or if necessary, hold a one-day meeting. The committee further recommends that during the month of February, when the Joint Meeting is held with the Board of Governors and State Board of Education, that the SBCC coordinate their meeting that month with the Joint Meeting, so that the Board Members will travel only once that month and it will increase attendance at the Joint Meeting. Finally, if NCCCS Staff feels that meeting material is very light in a given month, the Chairman make the decision if that meeting should be held by other means, such as a conference call. The SBCC Meeting will still be held the third Friday of every month that the Board meets.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT, H. Martin Lancaster
President Lancaster’s report was delivered to the SBCC in a written report. The text of his report is available on the NCCCS Web site.
