LCC Board of Trustees Trusteeship

Lansing Community College is directed and governed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of seven members, elected at large in the community college district on a nonpartisan basis.  Elected members retain positions for 6-year terms.  Less than 6-year terms may occur when a board position has been vacated prior to a full 6-year term of office.  In this case, vacated seats are filled by designees appointed by the remaining Board members in office. Appointed members maintain their Board seats until the term of office expiration date of the previous elected member's position if the remaining term is less than 18 months.  If the remaining term is 18 months or more, appointed members will hold the position until the next board election.

Public elections for regular board member positions are held at the end of each 6-year term.  Newly elected members are sworn in the following month at the regular LCC Board of Trustees annual organizational meeting. 

The next election will be in 2007.  Two candidates will be elected to serve on the Lansing Community College Board of Trustees.
