Working Groups

The NOCCCD has also created groups that provide recommendations in the decision-making process to the Chancellor.

The three groups are as follow:

Governance GroupsThese groups can be formed at both the District- and campus-levels and serve as a liaison to bring information from the constituent group into the District-level dialogue and from the District-level governance group back to their constituents.
Organizational GroupsThese groups assist the Chancellor in implementing the Board of Trustees' plans and policies by coordinating operational, procedural and policy implementation.
Ad Hoc WorkgroupsThese groups are formed to create a venue for conversations on topics deemed by NOCCCD to require timely and concentrated District-wide energy.

NOCCCD Foundation

Formed in 1987, the Community College Foundation of North Orange County (CCFONOC), or informally the NOCCCD Foundation, is a charitable organization whose goal is to assist in the achievement and maintenance of superior educational and community programs of the NOCCCD.
