Classified Senate

Members

On November 20, 1991, the Board of Trustees approved the formation of the Classified Senate as the 34th community college Classified Senate in California. The Senate provides classified staff the opportunity to actively contribute to the growth and success of the college.

The Senate comprises an executive board, senators, and alternates elected by the membership. The Executive Board consists of the President, 1st Vice-President, 2nd Vice President, Secretary, and  Treasurer. The president presides at all meetings of the Senate, is the official spokesperson of the unit, and represents the Senate at each meeting of the Board of Trustees.
