The Planning and Budget Council directed and supported the Strategic Planning Coordinating Committee, which was co-chaired by Dr. Jeremy Smotherman and Academic Senate President Nancy Persons. The Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee represented the voices of faculty, staff, students, and management in the development and refinement of Santa Rosa Junior College’s strategic plan to guide institutional priorities over the coming years. The committee included representatives from all major constituency groups, as listed in the table below, and worked collaboratively to ensure broad participation and transparency. The committee facilitated Town Hall meetings, collected and analyzed feedback, and presented findings to the Planning and Budget Council for review. For those unable to attend the live sessions, Town Hall recordings and surveys were made available to ensure inclusive participation.
