Meet the Board
The Board of Trustees for Green River College is composed of influential community members who reside within the college's District 10 service area. Trustees are volunteers serving a five-year term by appointment of the Governor.
Trustees bring a rich diversity of backgrounds and skills to the governance of Green River College; they serve as an important communication link between the college and the community. All trustees sit as members of the Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges. This association is comprised of trustees from the 34 community and technical colleges statewide.
The Green River Board of Trustees meets every third Thursday of the month at 4:30 p.m. on campus in the board room of the Administration Building. These monthly meetings are open to the public.
