Board of Trustees

Oakland Community College is governed by a seven-person Board of Trustees. The members of the board are elected on a non-partisan, at-large basis by voters living within the college district, an area that generally coincides with the boundaries of Oakland County. Trustees serve as volunteers and are not paid for their services.
