Role: The PGC represents all constituent groups of WHCL, develops and implements the strategic master plan, develops or revises and approves governance policies and communicates with the respective groups. The strategic planning process guides budget priorities. Recommendations made by the PGC reflect the values and support the mission of the College and are in the best interest of improving student success and serving the community. The PGC, as the recognized participatory governance body of the College, creates the processes for recommending College policies and governance committee structures. The PGC amends and guides the planning processes and recommends policies and procedures to respond to the changing needs of the student population and the internal external environments. The PGC develops, implements, evaluates continuously and revises, if necessary, the College plans and initiatives, both long-term and short-term. A three-year planning cycle is used to implement the Master Plan. An Annual Implementation Plan outlines the tasks and actions to be accomplished during the upcoming year. The PGC has oversight of college standing committees and receives and monitors reports. Communication with individual constituencies and participation in the Council meetings are primary responsibilities of the PGC members.
