Public attendance at trustee meetings serves a civic purpose, allowing community members to hear deliberations, learn about upcoming programs, and raise concerns related to equity and service to rural communities. Trustees oversee policies that can influence recruitment of instructors, development of health and social service training, and partnerships that affect local employment. Participation by students, elders, health workers, and tribal leaders helps ensure that governance decisions reflect community needs and values.

Residents who want to stay informed should check the college website for the posted meeting time, materials, and virtual joining options. The Board Secretary and the college communications office remain the points of contact for submitting materials and requesting more information about observing the December 10 session.
