The commitment to shared governance at ACC entails a commitment to the effective use of participatory governing councils and committees to draw upon the expertise of the members of the ACC community and represent the stakeholders within ACC in the process of governing the college and guiding it toward fulfillment of its mission. Each year, employee associations elect representatives to serve on various councils and committees.
Faculty associations announced their leadership teams for the 2021-2022 academic year.
