Trustees

California’s community college board of trustees are responsible for governing individual community college districts within the system.

As locally elected officials, California Community College trustees possess the tremendous responsibility of adapting their district’s mission to community needs and ensuring college excellence and sustainability. The League offers trustees ongoing education opportunities and a host of resources to support their trusteeship.

Excellence in Trusteeship Program

The Excellence in Trusteeship Program (ETP) is designed to facilitate the ongoing education of all trustees in California community colleges by providing a solid foundation for effective board governance.

The League proudly offers the only certificate program in community college trusteeship in the state.
There are multiple pathways to complete the 9-competency, 27-unit program, that can be completed in one year that supports the accreditation requirement for continuing board development. The program has been vetted by the national Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) and the Accrediting Commission of Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC).
