Governance, Campus Committees

Citrus College committees play a crucial role in supporting the college's daily operations. They include representatives from various sections of the campus community, ensuring that students, faculty and staff have a voice on issues that impact them.

Governance
Citrus College is committed to shared and participatory governance principles, designed to guide wise decision-making supporting the college's mission and strategic goals. This governance philosophy is based upon five pillars of shared decision-making, all of which must be present for effective governance. These pillars are:

• shared vision
• shared engagement
• shared respect
• shared information
• shared risk

It is fundamental to the health of the college that our decision-making bodies operate in a culture of shared vision, engagement, mutual respect and information sharing. These conditions will allow us to move into the future with confidence and to make wise decisions that will benefit our students and our community.

Persons interested in learning more about governance at Citrus College are invited to review the organization and governance handbook for detailed information.

Board of Trustees
The college district board of trustees is composed of elected officials who are responsible for formally setting policy for the district.
