AUBURN — The Executive Committee of the Central Maine Community College Education Foundation met recently to discuss plans for the new academic year. The foundation is a community-based, nonprofit corporation that has as its sole mission “support for Central Maine Community College and its students.”

The foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of community and business leaders. The foundation has raised and contributed funds to CMCC for scholarships, program improvements and capital projects.

The foundation board of directors also serves as the Executive Advisory Council, providing a forum for matters that have a broad impact on the college. Specific responsibilities of the council include reviewing proposals for major changes in policies and programs, participating in the development of long range plans and assisting with the interpretation of college goals, programs and needs to the general public.
