Operational Governance
Operational governance is a change model/logic model displaying the outcomes of cross-divisional communication and transparency, institutional effectiveness and efficiency, and reduced redundancies and enhanced cost savings.
CC's operational governance is our set of processes, structures, and policies that support effective management and decision-making at the operational level. It involves establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures to achieve strategic objectives, manage risks, and maintain compliance with regulations. Operational governance focuses on optimizing efficiency, accountability, and performance in day-to-day operations to support the college's overall organizational success.

College Operational Leadership Team
The College Operational Leadership Team (COLT) serves as the communication conduit between divisions to support effective collaborations and to coordinate events, projects, issues, and other matters that may impact campus operations across departments. The goal is to better understand how these activities affect the work of the college, identify challenges and opportunities, and coordinate support where needed. The COLT consists of representatives from each division and meets Mondays at 8am.
CC Faculty and Staff can find meeting summaries here.
