Shared Governance at CC

As a community that embraces transparency and accountability, it is in our best interest as an organization to be clear about who is responsible for what decisions. An effective institution has clear processes that are documented and available to the community. Below you will find the people and/or groups that should be consulted for input into decisions, some of the people listed are only advisory.
