The Midwest Community College Leadership Council is a cooperative agency of the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Michigan State University. It has sponsored conferences for trustees and presidents of newly formed junior colleges. Ten representative addresses from the conferences, collected in this paper, cover different aspects of the role of the president, the trustee, and the regent, the relationship between board and administrator, the importance of occupational education, the functions and value of a consultant, and the formation and organization of a college. The document also gives the by-laws of the Michigan Association of Community College Boards and details of its organization. (HH)
