Board
The College is directed by a volunteer board.
All Directors have a ‘portfolio’ of responsibilities that link into the College’s activities and are more than generous with their volunteered time.
The College operates with the ‘dynamic’ Board approach – a changing board membership with 3 to 5 years service being the norm. New people are always welcome to apply to join the FSCCC Board, but they must bring with them skills the College needs and be prepared to undertake Board Training and to contribute in practical ways other than simply attending a monthly meeting. Inquiries should be directed to the College Manager in the first instance.
