SUNY Broome Shared Governance is excited to host a Zoom professional development event regarding shared governance, presented by our FCCC colleagues representing SUNY and our fellow community college colleagues. We will also be collecting any questions you may have ahead of time in the registration form so they may be addressed throughout the presentation. We also plan to have time following the session for questions and discussion. View more information on FCCC and SUNY Shared Governance (we are in the process of updating the information with SUNY regarding SUNY Broome). We hope to bring you another session in spring 2022.

The overview will include the following topics:

• Shared Governance 101 and How Campus Governance Connects to SUNY
• Common Governance Structures
