Board of Trustees

Board of Trustees

Our integrated model makes The Community Solution stronger and fosters an environment of collaboration for the more than 100 professionals that make up our Boards of Trustees.

The collective gathers biennially at a System-wide Board Conference as a forum for trustees to exchange ideas, discuss pressing issues in higher education, learn about emerging trends, and advance our System-wide goals.
