The four general areas of study undertaken by the author are described in this report. The areas of study were, first, an attempt to ascertain whether there was a perceived need for presidents and trustees for orientation and inservice education programs for trustees; second, an investigation of the understandings or misunderstandings which may occur between the president and his board regarding the mission of a comprehensive community college; third, an ascertainment of whether the presidents and trustees felt there were successful techniques and procedures to orient and educate board members; and, fourth, an effort to ascertain whether State, university, or other organizational efforts might be deemed appropriate in the formulation of programs to educate boards.
