Board of Trustees
Seattle Colleges is governed by a five-member board of trustees appointed by the Washington state governor and approved by the state Senate. Trustees serve sequential five-year terms. The primary responsibility of the board of trustees is to meet the changing educational needs of the community while reflecting the community’s values in fulfilling Seattle Colleges’ mission.
