Maricopa Governance
This model was adopted by the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) Governing Board in 1996. One of the most important roles of the Governing Board is to identify goals for the purpose of better serving and being accountable to its constituencies. These constituencies include the People of Maricopa County, Students, Private and Public Sector Employers, Universities and Primary and Secondary Schools.
