Faculty, staff, students and members of the community support WNC's initiatives through committee, council, or board membership. Each committee serves a purpose and is led by a charge to fulfill the college's mission. Committees often ensure stability through challenging times and create unity through shared efforts to enhance the college community.
All committees serve under the direction of the President's Office.
