State Board of Community Colleges
Coming into existence in the summer of 1981, the State Board of
Community Colleges serves as the governing authority for the North Carolina
Community College System. The Board is empowered by the General Statutes to
adopt and carry out the policies, regulations and standards necessary for
administering and operating the nation’s third largest system of community
colleges.
One hundred persons from Murphy to Manteo have served during the past quarter of
a century as members of the State Board. Ten of its twenty-one members are
appointed by the Governor, with one member representing each of the six trustee
regions and four others serving on an at-large basis. They are joined by four
members appointed each by the State House of Representatives and the Senate, and
by three others who serve as ex officio members by virtue of position: the
Lieutenant Governor, the State Treasurer, and the President of the N4CSGA.
Ms. Hilda Pinnix-Ragland of Cary is now in her second two-year term as Chair of
the State Board, joined by Dr. Linwood Powell of Fayetteville as Vice Chair.
Five standing committees carry out the bulk of the Board’s work: Accountability
and Audit, Finance and Capital Needs, Personnel, Policy, and Programs, with ad
hoc committees and task forces appointed by the Chair as needed. The Board meets
on the third Friday of each month at 9:00 am, with the months of June and
December reserved for meetings only if deemed necessary. The April, July and
October meetings are conducted on campuses across the 58 colleges within the
System, with the remainder held in the State Board meeting room on the first
floor of the Caswell Building on Jones Street in Raleigh.
