Board of Trustees

Southeastern Community College is governed by a local Board of Trustees. The General Statutes of North Carolina provides the guidelines for the composition and tenure of members of the Board. The Student Government Association President serves as an ex-officio member. The Board consists of 12 trustees – eight trustees are appointed by the General Assembly (4 from Representative Brenden Jones and 4 from Senator Bill Rabon) and four trustees are appointed by the Columbus County Board of Commissioners.
