III. PURPOSE OF ADVISORY COMMITTEES The purpose of lay advisory committees is to inform, advise, and assist with planning, implementing, and evaluating the programs and services. Their counsel and College’s advice enable the College to adequately meet community needs. This link between the College and the community is valued and considered vital to the overall effectiveness of the College. Because committee members have expert knowledge in the areas they represent, their advice is carefully considered by College members. However, as advice, committee activity is limited to suggestions, recommendations, and assistance. Committee authority does not include administrative or fiscal control.
