Shared Governance Council

Sharing responsibility for reaching collective decisions on matters of policy and procedure.

Purpose & Vision

The long history of participation by all of the college constituencies is a foundational characteristic of Los Medanos College and its shared governance model. In order to address college-wide issues, challenges, and future opportunities, the campus community engages in collaborative governance processes and utilizes bi-directional communication efforts.
