Series 4: Committees, 1951 - 2023
Scope and Contents
This series contains correspondence, minutes, agendas, and supporting documentation for ad-hoc and standing committees of the Board of Trustees. An extensive list of committees is represented, including the Executive, Finance, Long Range Planning, and Public Education and Information committees. While there are multiple Finance Committee files, financial records can be found throughout the collection, as they were used as supporting documentation at various meetings. The same can be said for several other committees. Not all committee folders contain extensive information; many committees only have documentation for a particular year or meeting.
