The Board of Trustees is the governing body for Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The Board delegates to the president, other leadership and the faculty broad responsibility for management of the college and for day-to-day operations. Its primary roles include selection and oversight of the President, awarding faculty tenure, authorization of college policies, and approval of strategic plans and annual budgets. The Board operates in significant measure through legislative and local advocacy to support our programs, initiatives, and priorities.
Trustees are appointed by the Governor of Washington state, and spend significant time getting to know their state-mandated responsibilities, relevant issues for the college, and the LWTech Foundation's efforts to support our students before taking up their official Board duties.
