The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Surry Community College. The Board of Trustees meets at least 10 times a year, usually on campus. Trustees are responsible for acting on behalf of their fellow citizens and institutional founders as their individual consciences and best judgment dictate.
A governing board's fundamental responsibility is to chart the institution's course and ensure that the institution has the resources it needs to fulfill its mission. The board also has a unique fiduciary role in finance and budgeting, in endowment and investment management, and in preserving and expanding physical resources. In addition, the board ordinarily is called on to participate in fundraising activities.
The President’s Cabinet serves as the executive management team for the president to provide effective leadership for the college. The Cabinet serves to provide advice and counsel to the president, to prepare items for consideration and decision making, and to coordinate activities and work across divisions.
