Board Organization
The SLTATC Board of Directors has created four subcommittees among its members to facilitate the board’s responsibilities. Those committees and their strategic priorities are as follows:

Executive Committee - “The Executive Committee shall have full authority of the regional board to act upon routine matters during the interim between board meetings. The Executive Committee may act upon non-routine matters only under extraordinary and emergency circumstances. The Executive Committee shall report all activities to the regional board at the next regular meeting.” (Bylaws of the Campus Board of Directors)

Finance and Audit Committee – The Finance and Audit Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the full Board on the following:
•
  Annual operating budget for the SLTATC each fiscal year

  This committee also acts as the institutional audit committee. In this capacity, the committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities for financial reporting, internal control, audit processes, and compliance with laws and regulations.

Instructional Standards and Student Services Committee - The Instructional Standards and Student Services Committee reviews new instructional programs and changes in existing instructional programs and makes recommendations to the full Boards as required by the UCAT Program Development and Approval Process. The committee also reviews current and proposed student services policies, procedures and activities and makes reports and recommendations to the full Board.

Planning and External Relations Committee - The Planning and External Relations Committee serves as the advisory and review committee for the institutional strategic planning process, periodically reviews the strategic plan as it is developed, implemented and refined.

This committee also advocates for the SLTATC in communicating the purposes and benefits of the SLTATC and its mission more effectively with the general public, the media, and the Legislature.
