Empowered by the College and Institute Act of British Columbia, the Langara College Board of Governors’ primary responsibility is to oversee the strategic direction of the College and ensure it carries out its mission. To that end, the primary functions and roles of the College Board are to establish the institution’s purpose and direction; to ensure the institution is effectively and efficiently managed; to establish policies that have institution-wide application; and to provide effective communication with the community. The roles, responsibilities, and mandate of the Board and Board Members are outlined in Bylaw 201 - Board Operations.
Board membership is legislated within the College and Institute Act. Members elected by faculty and support staff serve three-year terms and may be elected to further terms.
