Board of Trustees

Meet the Board

MCC is governed by a seven-member board of trustees who are elected for six-year terms on an “at large” basis from throughout the district (Muskegon County). The College’s chief executive is the President, appointed by the Board of Trustees. The primary function of the Board is to oversee the education of people in our community. The Board is responsible for establishing and implementing policy to maintain an excellent education for all students in a safe, secure learning environment. These policies and procedures guide the President and staff in their daily duties.

Serving the institution as of January 2026 are:

NOTE: Please direct any communication with the board members to Paula Halloran, Executive Assistant to the President and Board of Trustees Liaison at Paula.Halloran@muskegoncc.edu.
