Garden City Community College Board of Trustees
2025-2026 Members
GCCC is governed by a six-member board of publicly-elected trustees, who serve terms of four years each. The trustees employ policy governance, in which the board sets objectives and parameters, and the college president is given responsibility for attaining objectives. The board elects members to chair, vice chair, and other officer positions.
Trustees welcome views, opinions and suggestions from the public. Public input may be sent to: trustees@gcccks.edu and will be distributed to all six trustees.
