Board approval dates:
The Community Board authorizes the Executive Committee of the board to establish and maintain a website that is separate and distinct from the main college website. The Community Board website should include a range of information that is useful for board members themselves as well as stakeholders at the college, and which increases the transparency of the governance process for all members of the community.
The main purpose of the Community Board website is to increase the transparency of the board’s activities. For example, it should provide a convenient web-based location for college governance documents, including bylaws, meeting minutes, agendas, board rosters, information about board service including board handbooks, and any approved governance related policies and guidelines. Because transparency is the main goal, the contents of the Community Board website should be public – meaning, accessible at all times to all members of the college community. Information included on the site should also be maintained appropriately and updated regularly, by authorized individuals only. The website should be updated and maintained under the auspices and guidance of the board’s Executive Committee or other authorized committee(s), and the Executive Director. The contents of the website should be regularly backed up. Currently approved versions of important documents (e.g., bylaws) should also be maintained in printed format and stored offline.
