The purpose of the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT) is to provide a forum that enables a wide variety of college constituency groups the opportunity to provide input into the present and future direction of the College. This team will guide the development and on-going implementation of our strategic plan, review benchmarking data, study budget realities and offer recommendations for budget priorities.
Team Composition
The SLT will be broadly representative of the college community. Membership is tied to positions held at the college as well as representatives from a wide variety of current campus teams. Other members will be appointed by the President. The current membership list is included in the last section of this document.
Organization and Procedures
- The President and Associate Provost of Instructional Support and Institutional Planning will co-chair the SLT.
- Sub-committees will be used as task forces to accomplish specific tasks with limited time frames; these sub-committees may include people who are not members of the SLT.
- The SLT will meet at least twice per semester, but may meet more often to accomplish tasks.
- A website will be created and minutes of the meetings as well as all planning documents will be posted.
