Council Communications and Engagement
The committee develops and implements strategies for recruiting, retaining, and engaging members; creates membership information and procedures; provides tools and information that equip the Board and Council to share progress of the college and to advocate on issues of importance; and provides insights and perspectives to advance the visibility and image of the college and Council.
Chair: Kim Kaercher
Development
The Development Committee is charged with involving the Council in identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding efforts that support fundraising; ensuring a strong “case for support;” and communicating fundraising priorities to external audiences.
