Board of Trustees
Governance Structure
The Community College District 522 Board of Trustees consists of eight members: seven citizens elected from geographic sub-districts to four or six-year terms and a student elected by the student body to a one year term. Under Illinois law the student trustee may participate in all Board action; however, that individual's vote is advisory.
