Board of Trustees

Public Participation

Each regular business meeting of the Board includes a public comments period in which citizens, group representatives, faculty, staff, or students may make a statement regarding an item on a past or present Board agenda, or any matter relating to the Board's discharge of its educational and financial responsibilities for the College.

A person representing an organization will be allowed five minutes; each person speaking as an individual will be allowed three minutes. A total of

16 minutes are allowed for the "Comments Period".  This time may be extended for an additional specified period of time by request of the Chair and agreement by two-thirds of Board members present and will be scheduled just before adjournment. Persons wishing to speak may sign up with the Board of Trustees Office at 240-567-5272 or at the email address below. Requests must be made no less than 7 days before the public meeting. Eighteen copies of testimony must be provided to the Board of Trustees office at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the public meeting.

  Individuals and groups may send written comments to the Board.
