Governance Group Taskforce: Charge, Membership & Timeline
Holmes and Chow shared that they had discussed a number of approaches regarding the process of setting up a taskforce to evaluate and improve the governance structure. They reiterated that this is a unique opportunity to do an in-depth analysis of how to shape the future of shared governance at the college and that it is important to start on the right path. The taskforce will, among other things, center on goals of inclusion, service to students, college vision, mission and values, and assessment of the current governance structure.  Holmes and Chow recommended bringing in a neutral party and professional in the field of shared governance and asked the members their thoughts on inviting the Community College League of California President, Larry Galizio or former Grossmont-Cuyamaca Chancellor, Cindy Miles, or someone with similar experience, to the next College Council meeting. The members agreed that hearing from outside professional/s with different viewpoints on shared governance would be helpful.
