The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) "Citizen Trustee Survey" is the most current look at the individuals providing leadership to community colleges across the country by serving on those institutions' governing boards. By conducting this survey, ACCT sought to gain a better understanding of trustees' backgrounds, roles, and challenges in serving community colleges and their students. This information can educate community college leaders themselves, policymakers, and the public about who is leading these institutions which serve nearly 40 percent of all postsecondary students. This summary report presents selected data points from the survey that will be particularly valuable to those working in higher education, policymakers, and the public. This report addresses four questions: (1) What are the demographic characteristics of trustees?; (2) What was trustees' prior relationships with their community college and their motivations for serving?; (3) What are trustees' priorities?; and (4) What do trustees view as the primary challenges facing their college and community? A key finding from the survey is that the demographic backgrounds of trustees, particularly with regard to gender and race and ethnicity, are starkly different from the backgrounds of community college students. While the data reveal important demographic differences between trustees and students, they also describe trustees' strong commitment to service.
