Technology Committee Re-visioning
In order to ensure the group could best serve the college, the former Technology Task Force
in spring 2015 underwent a comprehensive re-visioning and review process. Discussion
centered upon topics including the evolved district technology project approval process;
the need for technology training; the committee as a venue for information sharing; the
committee’s relationship to the accreditation process and technology planning; and the
relationship of the task force to other college and district committees. In fall 2015, the task
force reviewed and modified proposals brought forward.
Final proposals included a name change to the Technology Committee to demonstrate the
permanent status of this advisory group to College Council. The existing vision statement,
detailed charge and enumerated activities with a mission statement:
The Technology Committee advises on technology proposals and training needs in support
of equity and student success. TC is the clearinghouse for technology-related projects
and initiatives, disseminating information through representative, expert membership, and
serving as both the technology planning and relevant accreditation committees.
