3 GOVERNANCE AND COLLEGE MANAGEMENT A seven-member Board of Trustees governs Frederick Community College. The Governor of the State of Maryland, with the advice and consent of the Maryland State Senate, appoints Trustees to the Board. Detailed information about the Board of Trustees and the schedule for open meetings are available on the Frederick Community College website. The Board of Trustees selects the College President who is the Chief Executive Officer of the College. The College organizational structure consists of seven teams: Academic Affairs, Continuing Education, and Workforce Development; Finance; Human Resources; Information Technology; Institutional Effectiveness; Student Affairs; and Operations. An organizational chart for the College is available on the College website. Each of the seven College teams has a supervisory and management structure that provides opportunities for participation in decision-making. Collaboration among the seven College teams is facilitated through the President’s Leadership Teams. President’s Leadership Teams Senior Leadership Team (SLT) The SLT is comprised of the President, the Provost/Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Continuing Education, and Workforce Development; the Vice President (VP) for Finance; the VP for Human Resources; the VP for Student Affairs; the Chief of Operations; the Chief Information Officer; and the Special Assistant to the President for Institutional Effectiveness. The SLT functions as the President’s decision-making team. The SLT supports the President’s work with the Board of Trustees (BOT) and the broader community. The SLT meets weekly. President’s Diversity Advisory Council (PDAC) The PDAC provides College-wide coordination and direction on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The PDAC is chaired by the Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and is comprised of a cross-section of faculty, administrators, and staff. Cabinet The FCC Cabinet is comprised of administrators, faculty, support personnel, affinity group chairs, the President of the Student Government Association, and the convener of the Department Chairs. The Cabinet acts as a leadership and advisory council in implementing the mission, vision, and strategic plan of the College. The President convenes the Cabinet for the purpose of direct communication and collaboration related to College governance by the BOT. All substantive and non-substantive changes to policies, procedures, and the Employee Handbook and Addendums are brought to the Cabinet for discussion. Substantive changes are distributed to the College community through the Senate and affinity group review process, are taken back to Cabinet for discussion, and then taken to the BOT for approval.
