Local Board of Directors

Local boards were created by Georgia State Statute (O.C.G.A. 20-4-11) to support the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia in carrying out its mission. The primary purpose of the boards and its members is to:

  1. Advise on program direction via their personal subject matter expertise and awareness of area business needs for program decisions and priorities;
  2. Serve as a check and balance for the development and implementation of college goals and objectives as well as operations policies and procedures; and
  3. Advocate within the community and in the state legislature on issues of importance in support of the technical college system and Georgia’s workforce development efforts.

Chattahoochee Technical College’s local advisory Board of Directors is composed of 17 members who were nominated for their positions by area industry and community leaders. Each member represents one of the six counties in the college’s service area, and was selected and approved by the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia.

The internal administration of the college is the responsibility of the President and the delegated responsibilities of personnel as assigned by the president.
