Governance at Manchester Community College is a participatory system in which every member of the college community can influence decisions regarding strategic planning and college priorities, operational policies and procedures and can provide direction for the College. Under this system, the College community shall arrive at appropriate and timely recommendations in a manner consistent with the principles of open and honest communication. Students are encouraged to participate in the governance process.
Governance at Manchester Community College shall consist of Strategic Teams, Operational Committees and Task Forces. The College President is the chief executive officer of the College, directly responsible to the System Commissioner and the Board of Trustees. Given that the President is responsible for administering the College, directly or by delegation, the Strategic Teams and Operational Committees serve as recommending bodies and are advisory to the President.
The College Coordinating Council (CCC) and the President's Cabinet are the cornerstones of the Manchester Community College Governance Model. CCC is responsible for oversight of all Strategic Teams. President's Cabinet is responsible for oversight of all Operational Committees.
