Board of Trustees of Montgomery College

Welcome
The Board of Trustees of Montgomery College is the institution's legal governing body and is comprised of ten community individuals who are appointed by the governor.

- to establish the salaries and tenure of the president, faculty, and other employees;
- to acquire and dispose of property;
- to arrange for cooperative use of facilities with the Board of Education;
