Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges

“The commission is a membership organization. The population of qualified members consists of any college organized under the community college act of the commonwealth of pennsylvania.”

“The commission is governed by a board of directors comprised of the president and the chair of the board of trustees or his or her designee from each member college.”

“Each member college shall be entitled to one vote in all matters coming before the board of directors, which vote may be cast by either representative of the college present when the vote is taken. A majority of the member colleges present and voting shall be required to take effective action.”

“The commission's president/ceo reviews the draft of the 990 form and approves it for review by the board members. A draft of the 990 is then made available to board members for review upon their request prior to its submission each year.”

“The current process is as follows: the president/ceo submits a self-evaluation for the prior year and a set of goals for the position and the commission overall for the next year. These documents are submitted to the chair of the commission along with the annual salary and benefits of the other state associations for community colleges and other comparable pennsylvania associations. The chair shares the self-evaluation and goals for the coming year with the board, develops a brief survey tool for feedback and scoring from the board, and then meets with the executive committee. The executive committee reviews the information, including comparable salary and benefits data, and sets the president/ceo's salary for the coming year and provides additional direction on goals and/or objectives. The executive committee review is summarized and provided in writing together with the survey results to the president/ceo.”

“All documents that must be made available to the general public are made available upon written request. Other governing documents are generally not made available to the public.”
