The College of Coastal Georgia Foundation
The College Foundation develops resources to support the College in providing quality educational programs
and serves both as an advocate within the Coastal Georgia community and, in turn, represents the community.
New trustees and offices are elected at the annual meeting. The Foundation is governed by an Executive Committee
composed of the chair, 1st and 2nd vice and immediate past chairs, a secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer and
two at-large members elected by the active membership.
There are three standing committees. The Finance Committee prepares the budget. The Investment Committee manages the portfolio.
And the Scholarship committee awards scholarship and professional development grants to students and faculty. From time to
time the board may authorize ad hoc committees to deal with other matters.
Ex officio members include College officers and others whose experience and counsel is valuable to the Foundation. The College
has been served well over the years and many of those who made significant contributions are honored with an Emeritus status.
The by-laws determine the number of trustees. There are approximately 35 active members today; the nominating committee actively
seeks out leaders who in addition to making personal contributions to the College, will serve as:
- Advisors to the president and the College
- Ambassadors to the College
- Liaisons to supply informal feedback to the College President
- “Friend” raisers to bring friends to the college
- Fundraisers from private sector sources.
